The Keyhole team is excited to share the release of an internal educational video that is now available to the public. In our first-ever video release, we discuss microservices platform orchestration from a broad scope.
Specifically, Principal Consultant Jaime Niswonger takes a technology-agnostic look at the “big ideas” integral to platform orchestration for the enterprise. He introduces three popular orchestration platforms, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Cloud Foundry, and discusses scaling container deployments in the enterprise. The video is 60 minutes in duration.
About The Series
Throughout the platform-agnostic series, we demonstrate microservices applications that utilize containers, orchestration, and management suitable to our enterprise clients.
