Day 1: Kubernetes Online Workshop - DevOps UT Meetup, June 9, 2021
Channel: Salt Lake City DevOps Days
Date: 15/07/2021

This month’s meetup is a workshop showing how to deploy a web application to a kubernetes cluster in AWS. The founders of saas glue have set up a small project that we will be using for the workshop. You do not need to be a developer or an experienced DevOps engineer. The purpose of this workshop is to help anyone interested in learning about Kubernetes, DevOps, saas glue tools, and best practices for cloud deployments.

This is a “hands-on” workshop but you can also just attend the online meeting if you want to learn more about the topic. There are a few prerequisites to set up the workshop on your machine.

1. Amazon AWS Account (free tier) Requirement

The first prerequisite is an Amazon AWS account. Amazon offers a free tier account for developers and DevOps engineers. You will be able to set up and tear down the application during the workshop and stay within the “free tier” limits of your AWS account. If you don’t have an AWS account here is a link to set one up:
