Join Datalounges and Rancher in exploring the new functionalities that make Rancher the industry’s leading technology for container orchestrtaion management.
Rancher Virtual Rodeos are free, in-depth online workshops designed to give DevOps and IT teams the hands-on skills they need to deploy and manage Kubernetes everywhere.
The content will be delivered by Rancher’s technical experts and aim to educate anyone interested in learning how to use containers or Kubernetes.
During these virtual hands-on workshops, our technical experts will provide an introduction to Rancher, Docker, and Kubernetes and then walk through the steps for deploying a Kubernetes cluster.
The key topics that will be covered at the Rancher Rodeos include:
- Docker and Kubernetes Concepts and Architecture
- Installation and Configuration of Rancher Server
- Kubernetes Cluster Deployment
- Application Deployment and Access
The new version of Rancher marks an important milestone for customers using containers and container orchestration infrastructures. This highly anticipated release is a significant enhancement and will enable a productivity leap managing the full lifecycle of hosted Kubernetes clusters.
After your Rancher Rodeo, we recommend you take Rancher for a testdrive with Datalounges. Read more here.
