Need to deploy your Node.js app to Kubernetes but having trouble getting your head around it? In this talk we'll look at using Terraform to create infrastructure as code and simplify the job of creating a Kubernetes cluster and deploying a Node.js application. This will be a whirlwind tour of Terraform and demonstration of how to bring online a simple Node.js microsevices application.

1. Deploying Node.js
microservices to
Kubernetes
Using Terraform

2. Overview
Node.js + Docker + Kubernetes + Terraform
=
