Kubernetes Design Patterns
21 HoursThe evolution of microservices and containers in recent years has significantly changed how we design, develop, deploy and run software. Modern applications must be optimized for scalability, elasticity, failure, and change. Driven by these new demands, modern architectures require a different set of patterns and practices. In this training, we examine ways to identify, understand and adjust to these new requirements.
