Advanced Kubernetes Deployment Strategies

Kubernetes is a core component of most modern app delivery strategies because it helps organizations deliver apps faster with more agility and avoid costly downtime. But adopting Kubernetes is far from easy for organizations that are used to delivering three-tier apps. How do you decide which apps to refactor and which to build from scratch? What kinds of processes and tools can help you avoid common challenges around security and complexity? Join this session led by Rey Lejano, Kubernetes Field Engineer at Rancher, for answers to these common questions.
