Getting started with Juju and Charmed Operators: three awesome videos

Getting started with software can be confusing – depending on the complexity of the software, of course.

So, let’s take the opportunity to have a look at available tutorials and presentations available on the Internet.

This video shows the most likes among recently recorded tutorials available on Youtube. Written and presented by Jon Seager, this two-hours tutorial session explains how to start developing a Charmed Operator for Kubernetes. The recorded material covers an introduction about Charmed Operators and Juju. Then, it explains what is important when writing a Charmed Operator, and covers the concept of relations for composing applications.

The Juju controller and models on OpenStack by Sean Shuping

Sean Shuping has published an awesome collection of videos about Juju and Charmed Operators. He has recorded a number of sessions explaining Juju, Charmed OpenStack, and MAAS in order to build up a lab. An excellent video to start with is his introduction to Juju, controllers, and OpenStack. Generally, his videos are a very interesting mix of slides and hands-on parts using the juju dashboard or the command line.
