How do you know if your kubernetes clusters are running well? In this session, you make a “Knowledge: Kubernetes” roll on a D20. This talk will illustrate and explain many kubernetes concepts while the panel “plays” a tabletop role-playing game. You’ll see how the Game Master is really an API server, your CI/CD is run by actual Wizards, and your kubelets never stop attacking.

This is a light-hearted talk about fundamental kubernetes concepts and how they all fit together. At low level, it may be tempting sometimes to burn your infrastructure to the ground in frustration, but let us help you get a handle on those early concepts, and you’ll have enough experience to level up in no time. You might even multi-class into DevOps.
