Application Migration to AKS - 10-Days Workshop

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers serverless Kubernetes, an integrated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience, and enterprise-grade security and governance. Organizations are able to unite development and operations teams on a single platform to rapidly build, deliver, and scale applications with confidence.

Agenda

The week includes time for instructor presentation, instructor-led demos, and Q&A on the basics of Kubernetes. Architects, software engineers and operators will be able to learn the following:
