Practical Platform Engineering in 5 Lunches: 2. Your First Project

In the second installment of the "Practical Platform Engineering in 5 Lunches" series, readers learn how to create a simple Kubernetes deployment project using Octopus Deploy and its AI Assistant. The post guides users through setting up a mock Kubernetes cluster, creating necessary resources like a Kubernetes project, token account, and Docker Hub feed, and configuring Platform Hub with a mock Git repository. Additionally, it explains how to publish and share process templates within Octopus, allowing for streamlined updates and distribution of architectural decisions across projects. This hands-on experimentation with mock environments enables users to explore Octopus's features without access to real infrastructure. The series aims to educate on building Internal Developer Platforms, with this post advancing the process by demonstrating practical applications of Octopus Deploy's capabilities.
