About the programme

Course Overview

Most outages involving large-scale container orchestration are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Technical debt in the practice within technology and systems delivery is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of technology and systems delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants finish able to explain large-scale container orchestration to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a technical standard for the practice within technology and systems delivery as they go. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this area of technology and systems delivery that were visible long before the incident. It concentrates on the parts of large-scale container orchestration that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Buying a tool rarely fixes the practice within technology and systems delivery; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider technology and systems delivery agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Assign clear ownership for each element of large-scale container orchestration across the functions involved.

  • Control technical debt in large-scale container orchestration deliberately rather than by neglect.

  • Design a practical operating method for large-scale container orchestration that fits the organisation's size and maturity.

  • Define the availability, performance and recovery targets for large-scale container orchestration.

  • Establish monitoring and alerting on large-scale container orchestration that reflects user experience.

  • Translate policy on large-scale container orchestration into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.

  • Plan capacity for large-scale container orchestration against measured growth rather than optimism.
