Testimonials
Janar Nagel
Senior Architect,
Entigo's training gave me a strong foundation for implementing GitOps in the public sector. Using ArgoCD and GitLab CI brought clarity and speed to our workflows. The training was an excellent starting point for organization-wide infrastructure automation. Thanks to Entigo, we can now implement more transparent, auditable, and reusable infrastructure management – exactly what the public sector needs.

Full agenda
This training provides a foundational understanding of application containers and best practices for building them, followed by practical guidance on deploying them to Kubernetes. You'll then explore automation, learning to implement CI/CD pipelines for building and deploying to Kubernetes environments. Discover how to use GitOps for reproducible outcomes and observability, leveraging modern tools to establish Kubernetes as a powerful development and delivery platform.
Containers
- What is an application container
- Building application containers
- Running software with application containers
- Distribute containers with a registry
Kubernetes
- Pod - the compute unit of Kubernetes
- Deployment - run an application
- StatefulSet - run a stateful application
- Services - connect the workloads
- Ingress - expose the application
- Volume, Configmap and Secret - add data and configuration to your container
- Liveness and Readiness - self-healing and high availability
- Limit and Request - control resource consumption
- Job and CronJob - scheduled workloads
- Custom Resource Definition - extend the Kubernetes API
- Init Container
- Helm - package the Kubernetes resources
Local development environment
- Build containers - improve caching
- Check containers for best practices and vulnerabilities.
- Upload container images to the registry.
- Create a Helm chart and run the application locally with “scaffold”.
- Helm chart versioning and best practices
Deploy applications using a pipeline
- Check, build and upload the application automatically.
- Deploy the application in Kubernetes - discover potential issues.
- Use Ingress to expose applications to the world and optimize pipelines.
- Store the values file in the Git repository and version it.
- Use ArgoCD to promote the application to multiple environments and improve developer feedback mechanisms.
- Secrets management - implement unified experience regardless whether it is production or local development.
Improve observability and availability
- Make the application logs available to Grafana.
- Expose the business metrics to Prometheus and create Grafana dashboards.
- Onboard a new application.
- Use Istio service mesh and distribute Kubernetes manifest responsibilities.
- Make stateful services highly available using Operators or Managed Services.
Simplify and prevent repetitive work
- Platform patterns - Helm library charts and improved application onboarding.
- Use our own custom resources to manage multiple resources.
- Take advantage of ArgoCD ApplicationSets.
On-demand trainings
Private training allows your team to discuss company-specific challenges openly and focus on the aspects of Kubernetes most relevant to your infrastructure.
