Introduction
I recently took on the exciting task of onboarding a new team member unfamiliar with DevOps, Kubernetes, and containers. The challenge lay in quickly bringing him up to speed for a project requiring deploying an application onto a Kubernetes cluster. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through our journey, the challenges encountered, and how I led the successful Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) deployment.
The Challenge
Lack of Experience
The most significant hurdle was the new team member’s need for prior experience in DevOps and container orchestration. With an upcoming online event focused on Cloud technologies on the horizon, the pressure was on to educate him and ensure a successful application deployment.
Time Constraints
Time was of the essence. We had limited time to get the new member up to speed and successfully deploy the application.
