Join Donovan Brown & Ralph Squillace to learn about Brigade, the Kubernetes-native service that creates structured container pipelines from JavaScript functions, letting you "script" your cluster in reaction to events. You'll also learn about Kashti, the web dashboard that shows you the status of all your Brigade projects.Brigade - Event-driven scripting for KubernetesAzure/brigade on GitHubAzure/Kashti on GitHubKubeCon 2017 Demo — Istio and Brigade CI/CDPart 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 (this episode)Create a Free Account (Azure)Follow @donovanbrown Follow @AzureFriday Follow @ralph_squillace

Join Donovan Brown & Ralph Squillace to learn how to use Draft to kick start container-native development for Kubernetes applications. Draft lets you concentrate on your service code by removing the containment and service composition from most development work, which increases the speed of service development and improves the consistency of Dockerfiles & Helm charts.Draft - Streamlined Kubernetes Development Helm - The package manager for KubernetesAzure/draft on GitHubPart 1 | Part 2 (this episode) | Part 3Create a Free Account (Azure)Follow @donovanbrown Follow @AzureFriday Follow @ralph_squillace

Join Donovan Brown & Ralph Squillace to learn about the open source tool chain that enables container-native, microservice-oriented app development and delivery in Kubernetes. They cover the challenges of adopting containers as a code delivery technology and some of the tools that help address them:Draft for containment and service compositionHelm for application deployment and managementBrigade for automating critical developer and operations tasksKashti for displaying the progress of Brigade pipelinesPart 1 (this episode) | Part 2 | Part 3Create a Free Account (Azure)Follow @donovanbrown Follow @AzureFriday Follow @ralph_squillace

Kylie Liang shows Donovan Brown how to run Ansible playbooks on Azure using Cloud Shell, a browser-based shell experience hosted in the cloud. She also demonstrates how to use the Ansible extension for VS Code to accelerate Ansible playbook development using auto-completion and code snippets, and then run it inside Docker or Cloud Shell.Ansible in Azure Documentation (docs)VS Code extension for Ansible (Visual Studio Marketplace)Ansible playbook roles to get the latest Azure modules: Azure.azure_modules (Ansible Galaxy)Azure.azure_preview_modules (Ansible Galaxy)Create a Free Account (Azure)Follow @donovanbrown Follow @AzureFriday Follow @LiangKylie
