5 Secrets to Unlocking the Power of Kubernetes with Devtron
About the webinar
Over the years, how we deploy applications has changed drastically. Initially, developers provisioned VMs and ran their applications on Virtual Machines. However, this becomes difficult to scale. To solve this problem, containers came into the picture which is more lightweight compared to entire VMs. For scaling the containers, an orchestration system was required. That’s where Kubernetes came into the picture. One of the biggest challenges with Kubernetes is how complex it is. This webinar dives into how Devtron helps Developers and operations teams unlock the full power of Kubernetes for deploying and scaling their application workloads.

Key Takeaways
- Take a brief look at how Deployment systems have evolved over the years. Organizations have moved from having physical servers to deploying applications on Virtual Machines and finally, deploying to containers. We also discuss some of the challenges that were faced with each type of deployment.
- Kubernetes allows you to easily expose containers using load balancers and also provides service discovery for all the various microservices. Kubernetes also has features for strategically rolling out new application updates and rollbacks in case of errors. One of the best benefits of Kubernetes is self-healing the containers in case any errors are detected within the containers.
- Handling the right level of access in Kubernetes can be difficult. By default, Kubernetes secrets are not very secure, and they are simply encoded in base64. Devtron provides solutions that make it easier to set up a robust RBAC for Developers and manage secrets efficiently with tools such as Vault.
- When developing and testing applications, developers have to build the same code multiple times. In some situations, the environment can have artifacts from a previous build which can lead to problems. Devtron can provide developers with Ephemerial Developer environments which can help correctly develop and test application code.
