Workshop: Enabling preview environments on Kubernetes
Developer self-service is the buzzword of the month. The ability to spin up fully provisioned preview environments with every pull request can help your developers to rapidly test and iterate on new functionality. This will decrease the change-failure rate and will let them innovate and go fast without breaking things or bothering cloud operations.
In this step-by-step workshop, Chris Stephenson will demonstrate how to enable preview environments on any CI/CD setup, any Kubernetes setup, and for any application. He will demo a setup using GKE on the Google Cloud Platform, GitHub Actions for CI, CloudSQL as database, a microservice application, and Humanitec as the “platform glue”. He will show-case:
- How to wire up infrastructure to Humanitec
- How to configure preview environments
- How developers can use preview environments on a daily basis
After a 30 minutes demo, there will be 15 minutes for Q&A. We’d like to encourage you to submit your questions in advance.
Audience - who should join?
DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, System Engineers, Infrastructure Kubernetes Administrators, Technical Architects, Application Developers with an affinity with DevOps and Technical Management.
Workshop: Enabling preview environments on Kubernetes
Chris is fascinated by the tackling of tough questions in cloud-native development. He headed the high-performance computing group at Lloyds of London, played several integral roles in building a number of tech-setups at startups, and acted as a product manager at Google working on an internal developer platform used across the company. At Humanitec Chris is responsible for all things technical. He holds a degree in Information and Computer Engineering from the University of Cambridge and also studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
