Microsoft Reactor

Kubernetes is an open-source project by the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) that allows you to create and scale your services across a large number of machines. This architecture allows you to build reliable and scalable services that serve almost any purpose. This power also brings complexity that can require a lot of time and investment to understand and operate effectively. In this session we’ll be diving into Kubernetes, how it works and some of the abstractions available to you in Azure that remove some of that complexity from your services.

This session will cover the Kubernetes control plane and the services that make your Kubernetes cluster work, how the control plane communicates with the worker nodes to schedule your applications and some of the stuff you might not see in daily use of a Kubernetes Cluster. We’ll also be exploring how you communicate with your Kubernetes cluster using the Kubernetes API and kubectl.
