## It's time for Kubernetes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You might have been following the topic of kubernetes for a while and
|
||||||
|
maybe you wondered whether or not it's about time to learn
|
||||||
|
kubernetes. So did we at ungleich. Over the years we tested kubernetes
|
||||||
|
many times and quite often had the verdict "no, not yet".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
About 1.5 years ago, we finally found Kubernetes stable enough to be
|
||||||
|
running in the ungleich environment, which is not only IPv6 only, but
|
||||||
|
also needs to support a huge variety of workloads.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Open Source and Open Teaching
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Over the last few years when we tested and learned a lot about
|
||||||
|
Kubernetes. One of the main take aways is that it can be hard to start
|
||||||
|
with Kubernetes, because it has a lot of different use-cases, concepts
|
||||||
|
and configurations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At ungleich we have always been standing for Open Source and
|
||||||
|
[Open
|
||||||
|
Communication](https://redmine.ungleich.ch/projects/open-infrastructure)
|
||||||
|
and we want to continue this by passing on our knowledge about
|
||||||
|
Kubernetes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Is Kubernetes for me?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That depends and there are many factors to consider. If you are an
|
||||||
|
organisation and you want to standardise your application deployments
|
||||||
|
or increase efficiency of deployments, Kubernetes is a good choice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are an engineer or a developer and you are considering to
|
||||||
|
improve your career, learning Kubernetes might also be a good choice.

## 2 Beginner Courses starting in Digital Glarus
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this reason we will start 2 beginner courses this June
|
||||||
|
(**Update: only 2 places left**) in the beautiful Hacking Villa in
|
||||||
|
Diesbach, Switzerland.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Setting up Kubernetes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first course, [Kubernetes Setup
|
||||||
|
Course](https://ungleich.ch/en-us/cms/school-digital-glarus/k8s-setup/)
|
||||||
|
focuses on how to setup Kubernetes clusters. It is intended for
|
||||||
|
Sysadmins and DevOps engineers that want to operate Kubernetes
|
||||||
|
clusters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Using Kubernetes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After having a cluster setup, the big question is how to actually use
|
||||||
|
it. Our second course, the [Kubernetes Usage
|
||||||
|
Course](https://ungleich.ch/en-us/cms/school-digital-glarus/k8s-usage/)
|
||||||
|
is focussing on the aspect of understanding the concepts of
|
||||||
|
Kubernetes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## On-Site and Online
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Both courses are available On-Site in Switzerland as well as Online
|
||||||
|
(choose the "Learning only" package for this one). If you choose to be
|
||||||
|
onsite, you will visit us in the beautiful Swiss Alps and lodge in a
|
||||||
|
historic, protected building.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Intense + Personal + Relaxing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At ungleich we know that intense learning (6 hours per day, 3 hours in
|
||||||
|
the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon) also requires fitting calming
|
||||||
|
down to be able to concentrate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this reason we have locat recommendations for hiking paths,
|
||||||
|
swimming or - if you join the winter course - skiing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our experience has shown that trainings in small groups with a
|
||||||
|
personal training is most effective. For this reason the size of the
|
||||||
|
training groups is limited to 6 people.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## A or B or A+B?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are considering to participate in the setting up or using
|
||||||
|
Kubernetes course: you can take either of them or both of them, they
|
||||||
|
work independently of each other.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note: for both courses we have 2 places free - if you are interested,
|
||||||
|
you can apply directly on the course websites:

## Looking forward to seeing you
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since the start of project Digital Glarus and ungleich, many people
|
||||||
|
have visited us, learned with us and a lot of them even stayed in our
|
||||||
|
[Open Chat](https://ungleich.ch/u/projects/open-chat/). We look
|
||||||
|
forward to welcoming you in Digital Glarus or teaching you online and
|
||||||
|
maybe stay with us even longer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our Open Chat is based on Matrix and if you are curious about what we
|
||||||
|
do and write about Kubernetes, feel free to join
|
||||||
