Microservices, containers and Kubernetes

Speaker: Pieter Jenniskens

Abstract

Containers have been around for a while now. But how do you use them to migrate your software from a traditional architecture to a more microservices oriented architecture? And what about management and scaling once your containers number in the hundreds?

In this talk we will have a look at microservices, how it uses containers and how kubernetes manages all this. Using a webshop as an example, we will look under the hood of kubernetes and see how it all works together.
