Kubernetes has taken the world by storm as the go-to solution for managing containers. With its powerful features like automatic load balancing, self-healing capabilities, and seamless rolling updates, it's no wonder everyone is talking about it. But don't be fooled by its reputation as magic pixie dust. Understanding how it works is crucial to unlocking its full potential.

In this talk, we'll dive into the world of Kubernetes, starting with setting up a local development environment for running Kubernetes-based applications. Next, we'll examine the core architectural components of Kubernetes, and explore its many exciting features. We'll also discuss how you can take advantage of these features in your own projects.

Most Kubernetes discussions tend to focus on the DevOps side of things, but as developers, it's important for us to have a strong understanding of the technology as well. This talk will fill that gap, providing a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know to bring your application hosting to the next level with Kubernetes.
