See how you can do live testing of a service locally, while connected to a remote k8s cluster.
Learn how a tool like "Draft" hides the complexity of building images, and deploying them into a Kubernetes (k8s) cluster. So you can focus on your code.
New DevNet Learning Lab shows you how to create a pipeline for your modern, microservices-based applications. See automation working on your own software changes.
Managing application life-cycle can get really complex when working with microservices. Helm is a tool that packages required microservices, and makes it easier to start/stop them as per required dependencies.
There are differences and similarities between on-prem and Cloud deployments, and you can leverage common knowledge in both environments.
New DevNet Learning Lab shows you how to set your environment, connectivity, and how to deploy a modern microservices-based application into a public Cloud environment.
Once developers feel comfortable with their code, Ops needs to think about how it will go into the production environment -- on-premises (private) or in the Cloud (public)?
Wouldn't it be nice to have developers and network operators (Dev and Ops) working together to alleviate issues and accelerate the introduction of new software capabilities in your applications?
