GitLab CICD on Kubernetes Training
2 days
Training in Hungarian
Summary of the course
Length of the course: 2 days
The course can be perfect choice for professionals with a DevOps mindset to automate every important part of a release process in a transparent, auditable way. Such an approach can greatly mitigate human-related errors and can produce solutions that are shareable, reusable and lead to greater employee and client satisfaction.
During the training, we will discuss in detail the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment part of GitLab then we will introduce the GitOps approach in the context of Kubernetes with the state-of-the art Kubernetes packaging solutions: Helm and Kustomize.
At the end of the course the participants will have a solid understanding and practical knowledge about who to create modern CI/CD pipelines consisting one of the most popular, de facto tools.
The Instructors
Dávid Szabó, PhD
Dávid has recently finished his PhD in telecommunication at the Budapest University of Technology. Since he also finished the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Doctoral School organized by EIT Digital, he decided to switch into business and co-found LeanNet together with Péter. Dávid has extensive knowledge in the field of cloud native applications. He was involved in several Hungarian and international projects and supported the design and implementation process of such applications including software architecture, CICD pipelines and cloud infrastructure creation.
Péter Megyesi, PhD
Péter has BSc and MSc in electrical engineering, and a PhD in computer science, all received at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He also graduated in the EIT Digital Doctoral School on Innovation & Entrepreneurship. In 2018 he co-founded LeanNet with Dávid Szabó, a deep tech company focused on Cloud Native technologies. LeanNet was acquired by adesso SE in 2020, so now he works as a Cloud Native architect at adesso Hungary. Péter is a regular presenter at local IT conferences and meetups in related topics. He also serves as an instructor for various Cloud Native trainings, such as Kubernetes, Docker, Azure cloud and modern CI/CD.
