Workshops – From VMs to Kubernetes

Make the leap to containers without the cargo cult.

A hands-on path from virtual machines to containers and orchestration. Your team packages a real workload, runs it on Kubernetes, and learns when the complexity is worth it and especially when it isn't.

What you'll cover

Containers, orchestration, and honest trade-offs

1

Package it

Take a real application and containerize it. Images, layers, and what belongs where.

2

Run it on Kubernetes

Deployments, services, scaling, and rollouts. The core objects, hands-on.

3

Know when not to

The grounded approach, deciding when Kubernetes earns its complexity, and when a VM is still the right call.

No hype, no cargo cult

We run Kubernetes in production for customers who need it and steer others away when they don't. You'll leave able to make that call for yourself, not just follow a tutorial.

Book this workshop

From "we should containerize" to a workload that is actually running.

A half-day workshop. Tell us what you're running today. An engineer replies within one business day.

Before you book

What to expect

Bring a laptop and a real workload you're curious about containerizing. The day is spent packaging and running it rather than just watching slides. Expect an honest answer if Kubernetes turns out to be the wrong fit for what you brought.
