Kubernetes: it’s new; it’s cool; and you want it! But you have questions… Is deployment easy? Does it scale? Can it be upgraded in place? Will it work with your existing services? Can it handle big data workloads? You wish you could learn just one platform and never have to learn another one, but that's not how software works. Today’s epic swell is tomorrow's choppy ripples. Today's cloud nine is tomorrow's smog. What you really need to learn is how to surf… on clouds. So catch the wave and we’ll ride the white fluffies together. We’ll start with Kubernetes, the cloud container orchestration engine Google seeded, and Mesos, the scheduling framework from which Twitter and Apple are hanging ten. Then we’ll throw on the afterburner with the Mesosphere Datacenter Operating System (DCOS) and deploy orchestrators, like Kubernetes and Marathon, alongside distributed services, like Spark and Cassandra, to open up a universe of possibilities.
