      <strong>This year I have TWO sessions!</strong>
    </p>
    
    <p>
      <strong>1. <a href="https://www.sqlsaturday.com/815/Sessions/Details.aspx?sid=86803">Inside Kubernetes &#8211; An Architectural Deep Dive</a></strong>
    </p>
    
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        In this session we will introduce Kubernetes, we’ll deep dive into each component and its responsibility in a cluster. We will also look at and demonstrate higher-level abstractions such as Services, Controllers, and Deployments and how they can be used to ensure the desired state of an application and data platform deployed in Kubernetes. Next, we’ll look at Kubernetes networking and intercluster communication patterns. With that foundation, we will then introduce various cluster scenarios such as a single node, single head, and high availability designs. By the end of this session, you will understand what&#8217;s needed to put your applications and data platform in production in a Kubernetes cluster
      </p>

        <strong>Session Objectives:<br /></strong><strong>Understand Kubernetes cluster architecture<br /></strong><strong>Understand Services, Controllers, and Deployments<br /></strong><strong>Designing Production Ready Kubernetes Clusters</strong>

      <strong>2. </strong><a href="https://www.sqlsaturday.com/815/Sessions/Details.aspx?sid=86802"><strong style="font-size: 1em;">Containers &#8211; You Better Get on Board</strong></a>
    </p>
    
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        Containers are taking over, changing the way systems are developed and deployed…and that’s NOT hyperbole. Just imagine if you could deploy SQL Server or even your whole application stack in just minutes. You can do that, leveraging containers! In this session, we’ll get your started on your container journey learning container fundamentals in Docker, then look at some common container scenarios and introduce deployment automation with Kubernetes. In this session we’ll look at Container Fundamentals with Docker Common, Container Scenarios and Orchestration with Kubernetes
