This lesson summarises what we have learned so far and what we are going to learn next.

Summary

We have a production-ready Kubernetes cluster running in AWS. Isn’t that something worthwhile a celebration?

Kops proved to be relatively easy to use. We executed more aws than kops commands. If we ...
