Description
Moving from development to production Kubernetes on Ubuntu involves critical decisions that can make or break your deployment. This practical session provides an actionable checklist transforming production readiness into manageable steps.
Drawing from real-world deployments, we'll cover essential components of production-ready Ubuntu Kubernetes clusters: CNI selection, storage strategies, CIS-aligned security hardening, and monitoring architectures that provide visibility without complexity.
Attendees receive a downloadable checklist covering networking, storage classes, RBAC implementation, observability stack deployment, disaster recovery, and automated security scanning. Each item includes recommended open-source tools, Ubuntu-specific configurations, and common pitfalls.
We'll demonstrate eBPF-based runtime monitoring, automated vulnerability scanning, cost-effective logging, and CI/CD pipelines with security policies. The session covers leveraging Ubuntu's AppArmor in containers, resource optimization, and scalable monitoring from small clusters to multi-region deployments.
Focus is on actionable insights you can implement immediately: kubectl commands, YAML configurations, and automation scripts for Ubuntu environments. Help attendees avoid common mistakes and build robust, secure, maintainable platforms.
