Many of us might just be getting started with Kubernetes. A really good way to do so is by creating a small web server in your language of choice with a simple health check. Doing so will give you an awesome playground so you put all of the documentation you’ve read into action.
In this talk, we'll do a brief overview of Kubernetes concepts needed and have a running Kubernetes cluster on GCE as a prerequisite. We'll learn about health checks the kubernetes way, how to use liveness and readiness probes, and logging our results.
