Nothing in this directory is scheduled workshop time. It's the safety net, the solution layer, and the take-home material.
The complete, explained, step-by-step path through everything Hands-On 1 Track A and Hands-On 2 Track A ask you to do from a spec. Use it when the hint ladder isn't enough, when you want the why behind a requirement, or as your after-the-workshop re-derivation.
- Writing the container configuration — Dockerfile, Compose,
.env, line by line - Touring the application — source layout, schema, seeding, startup sequencing
- Running the stack locally — bringing it up, logs, exec, lifecycle
- Using the app — catalog, admin, env-driven branding
- Deploying to GKE — registry, manifests, ConfigMaps/Secrets, LoadBalancer
- Container fundamentals — the definitional Docker/Kubernetes content this workshop deliberately doesn't spend session time on
- Kubernetes guide — YAML structure and concepts for people coming from Compose
- Docker Compose troubleshooting — the usual suspects when a stack won't come up
- Higher-ed container & orchestration stories — how peer institutions run containers, plus talks, papers, and primers to go deeper
