Last week we looked at building and testing our applications. Now we will see how we can deploy applications safely using modern software delivery practices such as feature flags, following a release strategy and using Infrastructure as code.

As software code complexity and volume increases, businesses are flocking to containerization as a scalable solution to accelerate development of new applications. At Civo, we are always led by the community. We are firm believers in making sure that the voices of developers are always heard, and that they should shape how Kubernetes continues to evolve. To that end, we recently undertook some research to better understand cloud developers’ opinions about Kubernetes and containers, particularly what factors were encouraging or discouraging its use across the enterprise.

This week in our Civo DevOps Bootcamp free Kubernetes Course - we will look at good ways to build and test our applications. We will cover topics such as Automated testing, Continuous integration and how tests help improve the development velocity.

Join us as Civo's own Saiyam Pathak alongside Kamesh Sampath (Field Engineer, Solo.io) will be discussing Gloo Edge, Gateway API and API management on Kubernetes. Gloo Edge is a cloud-native API Gateway and Ingress Controller built on Envoy Proxy to facilitate and secure application traffic at the edge. We'll be covering the management and deployment if your API gateway with Gloo, plus how to set up and manage your APIs in less than 3 minutes!

We're delighted to announce Civo Academy! A full Kubernetes learning program consisting of over 50 videos created in-house by the team here at Civo. Best of all, it's available completely free of charge!

Join us in the Civo DevOps bootcamp, where you'll learn about DevOps fundamentals, how to get started, and some best practices. In this session, we'll give you an introduction to containers with a hands on demo of Docker. You'll learn about the Docker architecture, some important commands, and also how to Dockerise your own applications. We'll also have an introduction to containerd.

Join Viktor Farcic and Anais Urlichs in this meetup as we will explore Crossplane through the Civo Crossplane Provider. We will showcase how to create Civo Kubernetes clusters through the Civo Crossplane Provider, we will look at GitOps best practices to manage all of your resources in Kubernetes, and lastly we will provide an overview on how you can take GitOps deployments to the next level with ArgoCD.

Join us in the Civo DevOps bootcamp, where you'll learn about DevOps fundamentals, how to get started, and some best practices. In this session, we'll go though what is DevOps and why does it matter, how to do it well, what to expect from the bootcamp, and answer your questions live!
