iO are pleased to bring you our first instalment of our Azure meetups, as sponsors of the Tampa Bay Azure User Group. This meetup was co-hosted by Jeff Fudge and our iO Consultants, and featured special guest speaker Blaize Stewart.

Kubernetes is the king of container orchestration and the results are clear: More than ever, employers are looking for IT professionals that know Kubernetes. It can, however, be hard to get started with Kubernetes, because it is not trivial software.

This session took AKS back to basics, breaking it down into bite size chunks, giving us a jump start on our Kubernetes experience. Blaize showed excellent knowledge on the subject, a great help for those who are just starting out with this container.
