I went over the basics of Docker in my last post. Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool. ContainerA container is a way ofContinue reading “PRJ – 23 – Kubernetes”

Monday 24/08: 10AM – 3PM I spent nearly all of today in a call with one of the other developers who walked me through the new centralized API for MLC.
