Klustered - Live Kubernetes Game Show
Published by O'Reilly Media, Inc.
A live Kubernetes debugging competition–bring your curiosity and your game
Join host David Flanagan for a friendly, fun, and informative learning experience as two ops superstars compete live to debug a broken Kubernetes cluster.
The premise of this highly engaging show is simple. Two days prior to the event, David spins up two working Kubernetes clusters. The chosen contestants have the next 48 hours to break them. Then they go live in front of a virtual audience to actively debug the broken cluster. Registrants for the event get to witness the strategies, tactics, and tools used by two skilled individuals—and perhaps pick up some creative solutions for their own Kubernetes problems.
Kubernetes is infinitely configurable, and rarely are two clusters broken in the same way because each contestant brings unique experience, knowledge, and skill, and each will debug and remediate differently. During the event, you can ask the host and guests questions about their debugging choices and about Kubernetes in general. Join us for this fun and exciting event!
