Episode 71 - Kubernetes Special

In this 1 hour long themed episode of AWS TechChat, I am joined by my container yoda Mitch Beaumont are explore everything containers in the world of Kubernetes, or is that Kube or K8? It was Kubernetes themed affair, we started the show reminiscing about its history, going back, way back looking at where Kubernetes came from and how we arrived at the position we are today and gave an overview of Kubernetes concepts in the forms of Pods, Replica Sets, Services, Volumes, NameSpaces, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Statefulsets & Daemonsets. We then spoke about CNI (Container Network Interface) and Istio for container networking and service discovery before a bit of a Q&A session on why Kubernetes? Lastly we spoke about Amazon’s Kubernetes offerings in the form of EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and Fargate for EKS and and how you can get started on Kubernetes journey.
