This section focuses on implementing the kubernetes hello-minikube tutorial adapted to a conventional Django application. The codebase for this tutorial can be cloned from my github repo and we will be working with the part_2-getting-started branch. The kubernetes version for this tutorial is assumed to be 1.9. 1. Requirements OS This tutorial assumes a Mac OS system, but has links on how to run it on a Linux/Ubuntu or Windows OS.

I have been fortunate enough to work in Devops for the past few years. During this time, I have taken an obsession in learning how to manage applications in production, and as a result trying to figure out: How easy is it to push new features to production and to roll back to a previous version predictably and as necessity dictates? How best is it to have a consistent environment where exactly what was tested in development is deployed to production?
