Google has been running everything in containers for the past 15 years, but how do we orchestrate and manage all those containers? We've built and released the open source Kubernetes (http://kubernetes.io), which is based on years of running containers internally at Google. Join us for an introduction to containers and Kubernetes, followed by a hands-on workshop building and deploying your own Kubernetes cluster with multiple front end, database and caching instances.

Docker containers help solve the issue of process-level reproducibility by packaging up your apps and execution environments into a number of containers. But once you have a lot of containers running, you'll need to coordinate them across a cluster of machines while keeping them healthy and making sure they can find each other. This can quickly turn into an unmanageable mess! Wouldn't it be helpful if you could declare what wanted, and then have the cluster assign the resources to get it done and to recover from failures and scale on demand? Kubernetes is here to help!
