#30DaysOfCloudNative
#30DaysOfCloudNative is a month-long series of daily blog posts grouped into 4 themed weeks - taking you from core concepts to end-to-end solution examples in 30 days. Each article will be short (5-8 mins reading time) and provide exercises and resources to help you reinforce learnings and take next steps.
This series focuses on the Cloud-native On Azure learning journey in four stages, each building on the previous week to help you skill up in a beginner-friendly way:
- Week 1: Get started with Cloud-native Concepts
- Week 2: Build & deploy Kubernetes Apps on cloud.
- Week 3: Migrate your applications to Azure Kubernetes Service.
- Week 4: Go from Code to Containers to Cloud with Cloud-native solutions
We have a tentative weekly-themed roadmap for the topics we hope to cover and will keep this updated as we go with links to actual articles as they get published.
Here's a sneak peek at the week 1 schedule. We'll start with a broad review of cloud-native fundamentals and walkthrough the core concepts of microservices, containers and Kubernetes.
- Jan 23: Learn Core Concepts for Cloud-native
- Jan 24: Container 101
- Jan 25: Adopting Microservices with Kubernetes
- Jan 26: Kubernetes 101
- Jan 27: Exploring your Cloud Native Options
