The idea of this presentation is to show how to get started deploying applications on a Kubernetes-based platform, following good security and performance practices. I am approaching this from a developers point of view, but can easily be moved to other tracks.

For many, Kubernetes is a big hurdle to get over. In actuality, it's just a platform for running applications with many built-in features, and is no less complicated than running applications on any other platform. There is a lot that happens up to the point where your code hits the node, and even after that one has to be weary that defaults usually aren't the best approach.

In this session, we start with an empty git repository, build a shiny new application, squeeze it into a container which we then ship to a Kubernetes cluster, and in the end expose it to the world. Think of this as a development cycle speed run.
