Most industrial engineers running container deployments didn't get there through a developer background. They got there because operations needed someone to own it. As Portainer's platform keeps adding capabilities like git-backed workflows, KubeSolo, and broader Kubernetes support, this webinar is a fast, practical look at where the industry stands today, the foundational information you need to get up to speed, and what's coming in the future. Whether your team registered its first Source last week or has been running GitOps for months, this session meets you where you are.
Key takeaways:
- A review of foundations like git vocabulary, registering a Source, the latest Portainer releases actually changes for an industrial deployment. he working git vocabulary you need to register a Source and track every deployment change in Portainer 2.45 LTS.
- How to think about a Docker-to-Kubernetes conversion without needing to become a Kubernetes expert first.
- Where governance and drift-checking fit in once the basics are in place.
This webinar is for you if:
- You're a Portainer administrator supporting Docker today and know Kubernetes is coming or are curious what KubeSolo actually changes for a Docker deployment.
- You're an OT or plant engineer running or evaluating container deployments who never had a developer background.
- You want the working vocabulary to feel comfortable without a full computer science course.
