The document outlines Tikal's approach to Kubernetes (k8s) as a critical platform for modern software development, emphasizing its role in distributed systems. It discusses the concepts of microservices, containerization, and CI/CD in the context of k8s, providing a framework for developers to optimize their deployment processes and adopt best practices. Additionally, it highlights the importance of community learning and practical sessions, termed 'kubexperience', to facilitate hands-on experience with these technologies.

14. Kubernetes is what they all have in common
What we heard from all our teams

15. So What ?
✓ New cool tech from Google
✓ Everybody’s seems to be doin’ it
➡ What’s in it for us:
✓ It does this Docker thingy ;)
✓ DeclaraPve formats | Resource DefiniPons
✓ Infrastructure as Code
✓ Flexibility in CI/CD workloads (Pure pay as you go)
✴ MulP-cloud Vendor AgnosPc
✴ Self-managed + As A Service

16. So What ?
It’s a kubexperience !
Something that changed how we experiment, work,
operate production

17. How do we (you ?)
kubexperience
The How !

18. Theory
Learn what you are
building
Practice
Do it together
Conclusion
Align -> best practice
solution
Hands-On
kubexperience is a set os session designed
as walkthroughs, taking you from Theory to
Practice something you can take with you
at the end to your playground.

kustomize is a tool designed to let users
“customize raw, template-free YAML files for
mulZple purposes, leaving the original YAML
untouched and usable as is” (wording taken directly
from the kustomize GitHub repository). ... yaml to
store the instrucZons on the changes the user
wants made to a set of resources.
