With the rise of containers came the rise of container orchestrators. There are several available, but Kubernetes really did win the “orchestrator war”. Now, it’s the defacto standard for managing large numbers of containers in production. At the same time, Kubernetes does have a lot of moving parts.
Join Andrew on a deep dive into Kubernetes and learn about its various components. He’ll look at various control node and worker node components, from the API server and the Kubernetes scheduler to the container runtime and Kubelet. He’ll also go over different considerations for making the Kubernetes control plane highly available and walk you through deploying applications to Kubernetes, using SQL Server as an example. This session is for anyone who wants to learn more about the inner workings of Kubernetes.
