I am pleased to share that Sam Andaluri and I will be delivering a hands-on lab session for IBM TechXchange 2023! We're thrilled to be bringing real-world Kubernetes scenarios to you and to be sharing our experience from the field.

Below is a bit more information about the session as well as myself. Enjoy!

Title: Dive into SRE: A Hands-On Exploration of Micro-services on IBM Cloud

Description:

Get ready for a practical, competitive lab that blends learning with fun. Fix a malfunctioning micro-services application running on IBM Kubernetes Service (IKS) using an SRE dashboard. Beginners to IBM Cloud or Kubernetes? No problem! We offer a cheat sheet to help you along. This session is packed with invaluable tips and tricks from the field to elevate your learning. Tackle a set of challenges to hone your IBM Cloud logging and monitoring, Kubernetes, and VPC networking skills. Keep the application running, ensure the SLI, SLO, and SLA are met, and stand a chance to win IBM swag. Open your mind, learn, have fun, and win!

Top 3 things that will be learned:

  • Use an SRE Dashboard and gain experience with IBM Cloud Monitoring and logging capabilities
