DevOps with

Kubernetes and
Helm
Jessica Deen
Cloud Developer Advocate
HELLO!
I am Jessica Deen
I am here because I love technology and
community.
I focus heavily on Linux, OSS, DevOps and
Containers.
I love Disney and CrossFit/Fitness.
You can find me at @jldeen on GitHub,
Twitter, and Instagram.
Disclaimer
The next 60 minutes will NOT make
you an expert, but it will:
- Get you thinking
- Show you what’s possible
- Give you some sample code for you to get
started on your own time

I need to create applications New applications run smoothly My productivity and application
at a competitive rate without on my machine but malfunction innovation become suspended
worrying about IT on traditional IT servers when I have to wait on IT

I need to manage servers I’m unsure of how to integrate I’m unable to focus on both
and maintain compliance unfamiliar applications, and I server protection and
with little disruption require help from developers application compliance

Abstract differences in OS distributions

Higher compute density
Operations Easily scale-up and scale-down in
response to changing business needs
What is a Container?
Not a real thing. An application delivery mechanism with
process isolation based on several Linux kernel features.

Namespaces (what a Cgroups (what a process

process can see) can use)

v PID v Memory
v Mount v CPU
v Network v Blkio
v UTS v Cpuacct
v IPC v Cpuset
v User v Devices
v Cgroup v Net_prio
What is

v Open Source Container Runtime

v Mac, Linux, Windows Support
v Command Line Tool
v “Dockerfile” format
v The Docker image format with layered
filesystem

Container Orchestration:
Kubernetes
What is Kubernetes?
Open source container orchestrator that automates
deployment, scaling, and management of applications.

Features include:

v Automatic bin packing v Designed by Google

v Self-healing v Based on their
system used to
v Horizontal scaling
run BILLIONS of
v Service discovery containers per
v Load balancing week
v Automated rollouts and rollbacks v Over 2,300
v Secret and configuration contributors
management v Graduated from CNCF
Who is using Kubernetes?
Azure Kubernetes Service
(AKS)
Your Kubernetes Cluster
Managed by Azure
Why AKS?

Easy to use: Easy to manage:

v Fastest path to Kubernetes on v Automated upgrades

Azure and patching
v Up and running with 3 simple v Easily scale the
commands cluster up and down
v I argue there are 2.5 commands v Self-healing control
plane

Uses open APIs – 100% upstream Kubernetes
