By the end of this module, the SRE will:
- Create a K8s cluster with Google Kubernetes Engine
- Deploy a prebuilt app to a cluster
- Expose the app to the internet
- Add a Horizontal Pod AutoScaler
- Load test the app with Apache Bench
- Delete your hpa, service, deployment and cluster
Watch this Kubernetes 101 Workshop video and follow along by deploying this application: https://github.com/FairwindsOps/k8s-workshop/tree/master/complete/.
The video is long, and if it is your first time deploying an app to Kubernetes it will take a while. Schedule regular times to checkin with your mentor before, during and after this module.
