Session Description
Kubernetes is the leading way to run and manage your containerized workloads across any cloud or on-premises environment. It provides an automated, reliable way to execute the services, deployments, etc. that make up your application. But what happens when running those doesn’t go as you’d expect, or the system isn’t happy with what you’re trying to get to run? How do you figure out what’s going wrong, track down the root causes, figure out a solution, and get things working again?
In this hands-on three-hour workshop, we’ll look at some basic and advanced ways to debug problems that you may run into with Kubernetes. You’ll learn techniques from basic ways to zero in on root cause to log analysis to using advanced tools such as creating your own debug containers. Armed with these skills, you’ll be in a position to deal with day-to-day issues with running workloads in Kubernetes and keep them from becoming disruptions and/or show-stoppers.
Prerequisites
Basic working knowledge and understanding of Kubernetes
Format
Lecture and hands-on labs. During the labs, attendees will work through problem scenarios in their own Kubernetes environment.
Software Required
