Speaking – Learning Docker and Kubernetes with OpenShift

Description

It took me a long time to accept the value of an Application Platform.  Ten years ago Heroku entered the space and I thought it was ridiculous.  They were too expensive for hobbyists and missing all the telemetry and tunables required for the enterprise.  A few years after that PHPFog (which became AppFog) came out and I actually laughed out loud!  While AppFog wasn’t ultimately a success, soon thereafter I discovered Application Platform delivered via containers.  That was the missing piece!

While it took me awhile to get onboard, I’ll take you through a similar journey, starting with manually connecting our microservices together.  After that I introduce container management and orchestration to deliver service discovery, scaling, and health management using Kubernetes.  Finally, complete the picture move transitioning form an app-ops perspective to an application delivery viewpoint using OpenShift.
