What to know how to run microservices successfully in production?
The "Fast Track to Running Production Microservices" course covers:
SYNOPSIS:
In this 3-day, pay for, workshop Russ Miles will teach you how to shoulder the additional operational burden of running microservices without all your carefully architected decisions crumbling when faced with the hellish reality of production.
Over the course of this 50% theory, 50% labs session, you will learn how can your team can become confident and effective at running microservices, applying techniques such as distributed tracing and logging, service-discovery, CI and CD, and even touching on the new discipline of Chaos Engineering to maximise your confidence when your microservices are in production.
TOPICS COVERED:
PREREQUISITES:
While anyone running microservices in production, particularly on Kubernetes, will get value out of this course, this course is an ideal follow-on from the “Building Antifragile Systems with Microservices” course. While it is not mandatory for you to have attended those courses, this course does extend their ideas.
A sample application is provided and explored throughout the course, built using Concourse and running on Kubernetes, however the key learning points of the course will be equally relevant to other cloud solutions.
FORMAT OF THE COURSE:
The course will be 50% theory, 50% labs to explore the different concepts being discussed. Please bring your laptop.
COURSE OVERVIEW:
Day 1 - You’ve Built It, Now Run It:
Day 2 - Configuration, Secrets, Logging, Health:
Day 3 - Service Meshes, Security, Storage:

Quotes
Thanks @lawouach @russmiles for last week's #microservices training. Lots of useful information and very engaging delivery! |
Not one to miss - great insights and opportunity to put them in to practice - no prescription of Java :) |
