Jerome Petazzoni 5f75f04c97 Update the slides introducing namespaces and kube-public
1) When introducing "kubectl describe", we ask people to
   look at "kubectl describe node node1", which shows
   them a bunch of pods. This makes it easier to contrast
   with the (empty) output of "kubectl get pods" later.

2) Then, instead of going straight to "-n kube-system",
   we introduce "--all-namespaces" to show pods across
   all namespaces. Of course we also mention "-n" and
   we also explain when these flags can be used.

3) Finally, I rewrote the section about kube-public,
   because it was misleading. It pointed at the Secret
   in kube-public, but that Secret merely corresponds
   to the token automatically created for the default
   ServiceAccount in that namespace. Instead, it's
   more relevant to look at the ConfigMap cluster-info,
   which contains a kubeconfig data piece.

The last item gives us an opportunity to talk to the
API with curl, because that cluster-info ConfigMap is
a public resource.

General principles:

  • each slides deck is described in a YAML manifest;
  • the YAML manifest lists a number of Markdown files that compose the slides deck;
  • a Python script "compiles" the YAML manifest into a HTML file;
  • that HTML file can be displayed in your browser (you don't need to host it), or you can publish it (along with a few static assets) if you want.

Getting started

Look at the YAML file corresponding to the deck that you want to edit. The format should be self-explanatory.

I (Jérôme) am still in the process of fine-tuning that format. Once I settle for something, I will add better documentation.

Make changes in the YAML file, and/or in the referenced Markdown files. If you have never used Remark before:

  • use --- to separate slides,
  • use .foo[bla] if you want bla to have CSS class foo,
  • define (or edit) CSS classes in workshop.css.

After making changes, run ./build.sh once; it will compile each foo.yml file into foo.yml.html.

You can also run ./build.sh forever: it will monitor the current directory and rebuild slides automatically when files are modified.

If you have problems running ./build.sh (because of Python dependencies or whatever), you can also run docker-compose up in this directory. It will start the ./build.sh forever script in a container. It will also start a web server exposing the slides (but the slides should also work if you load them from your local filesystem).

Publishing pipeline

Each time we push to master, a webhook pings Netlify, which will pull the repo, build the slides (by running build.sh once), and publish them to http://container.training/.

Pull requests are automatically deployed to testing subdomains. I had no idea that I would ever say this about a static page hosting service, but it is seriously awesome. 💥

Extra bells and whistles

You can run ./slidechecker foo.yml.html to check for missing images and show the number of slides in that deck. It requires phantomjs to be installed. It takes some time to run so it is not yet integrated with the publishing pipeline.
