DevSlop Game Day 2021 (K8S)

In the last CTF, we learned about Docker and how to containerize applications. And now that you understand how to deploy containers, the next natural step is to learn how to do that at scale, which can be "easily" done with an orchestrator.

During this competition, you will learn how to deploy a TODO application consisting of six microservices to a Kubernetes cluster running on AWS.

This will be a great opportunity if you're just getting started with Kubernetes or container orchestration in general. Experienced Kubernetes users can still benefit from this event as more advanced concepts will also be covered.

Additional Information

WORKSHOP PRE-REQS

For this workshop, attendees will be using their local computers to write code and deploy the application. The following tools should be installed in everyone's systems:

• The AWS CLI version  • The Kubernetes command-line tool Docker • An IDE or Text Editor such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text or Atom (among many other choices)

PS: If you're using a corporate laptop, make sure you have permission to build Docker images, as well as push them to remote repositories.


You'll also need a Discord account (https://discord.com/) and join our server. A "private" collaborative space for your team will be available on our Discord server.

To participate, you will need to be in a team of 4 players. Registered solo players who are not on a team by February 18th, 2021 at 11:59 PM EST will be assigned a team. Incomplete teams will be completed.
