Learn how to deploy applications using Helm easily and fast

Are you planning to learn Kubernetes and Helm? Are you looking for an easy way to migrate your applications to Kubernetes with a "lift and shift" approach? Then, you are in the right place!

"Lift and shift" is a cloud migration strategy that involves moving an application and its data to a cloud platform without redesigning the app.

How can you achieve this? By using Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes that helps you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes applications.

  1. Containerize your application as it is.

  2. Create a Helm chart for your application with all the necessary Kubernetes resources (configmaps, secrets, deployments, services, etc.).

  3. Install the Helm chart in your Kubernetes cluster.

  4. Enjoy your application running in Kubernetes!

Have never done this before? No worries! We have prepared a hands-on lab for you to practice and learn how to deploy applications using Helm. 🚀

Our cloud learning platform provides comprehensive and interactive training, allowing teams to get hands-on experience, better code, and optimal GitOps processes.

All batteries included, you don't need to install anything, and lab exercises are ready for you to start! 🚀
