Session
Moving from single containers to full-scale Kubernetes orchestration can feel like 'A Bridge Too Far' for many developers and sysadmins. This session explores a pragmatic, lightweight path to bridge that gap using RHEL 10 and MicroShift.
We will demonstrate a rapid-deployment methodology to build a local lab using KVM. The journey starts with simple Podman containers, navigates through essential SELinux security contexts, and culminates in a functional Kubernetes environment using MicroShift.
Key takeaways include:
- How to leverage a lightweight footprint for Kubernetes learning and Edge use cases.
- Best practices for transitioning container manifests to Kubernetes objects.
- Understanding the symbiotic relationship between the OS (RHEL 10) and the orchestrator.
Attendees will gain a clear roadmap to master orchestration basics without needing massive cloud infrastructure, proving that learning Kubernetes doesn't have to be a 'Doomsday Machine' for local resources.
