AKS Labs: Deploy AKS with Terraform & Azure Verified Modules
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (UTC)
In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to deploy Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) using Terraform and Azure Verified Modules. Terraform is a popular infrastructure-as-a-code tool that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a high-level configuration language. Azure Verified Modules are pre-built Terraform modules that simplify the deployment of Azure resources by providing best practices and validated configurations.

Getting Started with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (UTC)
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of Kubernetes and how to package applications for delivery to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The goal of this workshop is to cover as many application implementation details as possible to get you comfortable with hosting your apps on AKS. We will start with a simple application deployment and then progress to more complex scenarios by introducing integrations with other Azure services and open source tooling commonly used within cloud native apps.

AKS Labs: Event Driven Workload (KEDA/Karpenter)
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (UTC)
In this hands-on lab, you will explore how to implement event-driven workloads on Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) using Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA) and Karpenter. KEDA allows you to scale your Kubernetes deployments based on certain events, while Karpenter helps in optimizing the cost and performance of your Kubernetes clusters by dynamically provisioning the right compute resources.
