World Congress 2026 Europe

Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way

July 9, 2026 14:10 – 14:40 · 30 min Stage 5

What this session covers

Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard to deploy and operate containerized applications. But understanding Kubernetes can be difficult or time-consuming.

Several years ago I asked myself how I imagined the concepts of Kubernetes: a pod, a deployment, a service, a secret, a configmap, a cronjob… and then I created a new way of explaining Cloud technologies.

In the first part of the talk, I will tell you a story, I will tell you my story. How, during more than two years, I worked every evening/nights/week-end to explain Kubernetes in sketchnotes, in blog posts, videos and finally published everything (and more) in an illustrated book of more than 270 pages (with all the concepts included Debugging / Troubleshooting and Tips) and why I continue to do it.

And in the second part, I will explain Kubernetes concepts to you … in a visual way :-).
