About the Talk

When rolling out new features for your business, it’s important to have a development cycle that can keep up with rapid iterations and changes. Go beyond setting up Kubernetes clusters to creating a faster development cycle that increases business efficiency, provides comprehensive observability, and enables faster recovery with troubleshooting techniques.

What You’ll Learn

• How to get the best out of your Kubernetes investment while simplifying operations and controlling costs.
• Why it’s worthwhile to build your own custom repeatable stack for specific day-2 operations.
• What to consider when building your own Kubernetes starter kit — finding reliable, cloud-agnostic products and tools with predictable costs — for containerization, monitoring, logging, backup, ingress, advanced observability, GitOps, and progressive release.
