Kubernetes Experience Lab with Spectro Cloud
Solution overview
The Kubernetes Experience Lab is an on-demand, hands-on learning experience designed to show how Palette simplifies the entire Kubernetes lifecycle, from initial cluster deployment to upgrades and ongoing Day-2 operations.
This lab goes beyond a basic UI walkthrough. Through guided, real-world exercises, you will learn how organizations use profile-based automation to deploy, manage, and upgrade Kubernetes clusters consistently across cloud and on-prem environments—without requiring deep Kubernetes or Linux expertise.
Whether you are responsible for a single cluster or managing Kubernetes at scale, this lab demonstrates how Palette enables repeatable deployments, policy-driven operations, and safe, controlled upgrades across fleets of clusters.
What You'll Learn
This lab walks you through the full operational journey of Kubernetes with Palette:
- Explore the Palette UI and understand how clusters, profiles, and lifecycle actions are managed from a single control plane
- Deploy Kubernetes clusters quickly and consistently across environments
- Validate cluster health and status to ensure readiness and operational confidence
- Understand cluster profiles and how they become the foundation for standardization
- Create and customize cluster profiles to encode best practices and policies
- Deploy clusters using profiles to achieve repeatable, scalable outcomes
- Upgrade Kubernetes clusters using profile versioning, enabling safe, controlled Day-2 operations
By the end of the lab, you will understand how profile-driven Kubernetes management replaces manual configuration with automation, consistency, and confidence.
Why Launch This Lab?
✅ Hands-On, Real-World Experience
Launch and manage live Kubernetes clusters in a fully functional environment. No local setup required.
✅ Master Day-2 Operations
Learn how profile versioning simplifies Kubernetes upgrades, reduces risk, and eliminates operational guesswork.
✅ Operational Consistency at Scale
See how organizations manage Kubernetes uniformly across environments, from a few clusters to tens of thousands.
✅ Lower the Kubernetes Skills Barrier
Understand how Palette abstracts complexity so teams can focus on applications instead of infrastructure mechanics.
✅ Preview WWT's Kubernetes Stack Strategy
Get early insight into how opinionated, pre-configured Kubernetes stacks can accelerate adoption and reduce time to value.
Looking Ahead: WWT's Pre-Configured Kubernetes Stacks
This lab is the foundation for a broader experience. Future expansions will introduce WWT's opinionated, end-to-end Kubernetes stacks, designed to help organizations move faster with confidence.
These stacks will showcase:
- End-to-End Architecture Coverage
From OS, networking, and storage to security, observability, and application services
- Profile-Driven Automation
Built-in standards that eliminate manual configuration and drift
- Scalability by Design
Proven patterns for operating Kubernetes at enterprise scale
- Faster Adoption, Less Risk
Turnkey deployments aligned to real customer needs and use cases
As the lab evolves, participants will gain hands-on experience with battle-tested Kubernetes architectures that help teams adopt, scale, and operate Kubernetes with confidence.
