2. What are you going to see
● A word on Cycleops
● Live Demo
● Compose beyond localhost
● k8s for a reason
● Why we built it
● Q and A

3. First things, first
Free offer
- 2 invitations for Open conf ‘23
- 5 subscriptions for one year Cycleops

4. A word on Cycleops
Automates Docker applications deployment
● Start with: server + Docker images
● Step 1: define the stack
● Step 2: configure the container services
● Step 3: prepare and deploy the setup
Reuse as necessary

5. The demo
Sample application with a static web page
based on images from https://gallery.ecr.aws/cycleops
● EC2 instances
● SSH connection
● Login to Cycleops

6. Compose beyond localhost
● Docker compose works well on a single server
● Run without actually connecting to the server
● Run multiple instances of the application
● Run parts of the application to separate machines

7. k8s for a reason
● kubernetes comes with lots of features
● managed clusters
○ cost estimate on AWS ~70 USD per cluster
● engineer the solution
○ Do you really need the added complexity?
○ Hiring and handover can become a challenge

8. Why we built it
● Speed up the deployment pipeline
● Bring automation to non-cloud environments
○ Cloud costs are an issue for some companies
● Focus on building new things
○ Save time from development teams
○ Save time from DevOps and platform teams
● Collaborate with ease
○ All hands deployments for every release not required
○ Deploy sandboxes with standard settings
