Jérôme Petazzoni ba376feb10 🏭️ Big refactoring of December 2025
The structure of each deck should now be:
- title slide
- logistics (for live classes)
- chat room info (for live classes)
- shared/about-slides
- */prereqs* (when relevant; mostly k8s classes)
- shared/handson
- */labs-live (for live classes)
- shared/connecting (for live classes)
- */labs-async
- toc

This is more uniform across the different courses
(live and async; containers and K8S).

Where are we going to run our containers?

You get a cluster


If you're attending a live class

  • Each person gets a private lab environment

    (depending on the scenario, this will be one VM, one cluster, multiple clusters...)

  • The instructor will tell you how to connect to your environment

  • Your lab environments will be available for the duration of the workshop

    (check with your instructor to know exactly when they'll be shutdown)


Why don't we run containers locally?

  • Setting up a local Kubernetes cluster can take time

    (and the procedure can differ from one system to another)

  • On some systems, it might be impossible

    (due to restrictive IT policies, lack of hardware support...)

  • Some labs require a "real" cluster

    (e.g. multiple nodes to demonstrate failover, placement policies...)

  • For on-site classes, it can stress the local network

    "The whole team downloaded all these container images from the WiFi!
    ... and it went great!"
    (Literally no-one ever)
