I guess at this point, you have heard of a company called Amazon and its business unit called Amazon Web Services, or AWS. Although you can read different stories about its beginning, one common thread across all of them is that it started with the need to scale quickly while enabling developers to deploy their services rapidly.

In this webinar, we talk with platform engineering leaders at BambooHR, a SaaS leader in the Human Resources space, about furthering their journey into Kubernetes. We are joined by Kelsey Hightower to help moderate and provide commentary on what he has seen in the space. As BambooHR kicks off their journey with Shipa, learn from the prospectus of the team moving the needle in engineering efficiency and developer experience.

Shipa Cloud is how we run the Shipa control plane on behalf of users in order to give them the fastest path possible to implementing Application as Code within their clusters. You can try out Shipa Cloud for free today by going to shipa.io. Besides being the fastest way possible to get started with Shipa, it also takes away the responsibility of upgrades, maintenance, and uptime of the control plane for our users, but that responsibility doesn’t just disappear.

Continuing on from Part One where we went through a brief history of containers and Kubernetes then Dockerized a NodeJS application, now we are ready to deploy to Kubernetes. If this is your first or nth time deploying to Kubernetes, Shipa makes this simple. You don’t have to worry about authoring multiple Kubernetes manifests and templates to deploy your application, all you need is an image.

Since its introduction in 2014 to the world, Kubernetes has been helping usher in the next generation of distributed workloads. As workloads started to be containerized, so did the need to manage the containers, thus the inception of container orchestrators. There have been a few container orchestrators out there before Kubernetes such as Docker Swarm and Apache Mesos. Though as a feature developer, Kubernetes can certainly feel like an 800-pound gorilla in the room.
