Advanced Kubernetes Hackathon
Learn advanced features and capabilities of Kubernetes on Azure in this 3 day Azure hackathon
Course Description
This hack will guide you through advanced Kubernetes topics for both Operators and Developers.
Unlike other Hacks, each of the challenges here are independent (e.g. You can do GitOps challenges without having done the Scaling challenges). This is by design as different teams can prioritize specific features of Kubernetes.
