Containers and container orchestration are essential for faster deployments, smoother updates, and stronger security. In this 50-minute session, we'll unpack container basics and show how Kubernetes automates and scales app management. Learn how to convert a traditional application into a container, deploy it on a cluster, and tap into rolling updates, load balancing, and self-healing—all in a K–12 education setting. By session’s end, you'll see how containers streamline software delivery, keep patches current, and boost reliability for your school or district.
