Basics of Kubernetes

Course Description
Welcome to the world of “Kubernetes”, the ultimate container orchestrator!
This comprehensive course is designed to help you kickstart your journey towards earning your Kubernetes certification.
Kubernetes is the de facto standard for running containers on-premise and on the cloud. The large open-source community behind Kubernetes continues to enhance and evolve the project with every release. As a result, many organizations are using the platform for running their mission-critical workloads on this platform.
Through a thrilling combination of immersive lectures, hands-on labs, and real-world scenarios, you will delve deep into the mysteries of Kubernetes architecture and its ability to tame even the most complex containerized applications.
This course aims to clarify what Kubernetes is and what problems it aims to solve. You will learn about the core components of the Kubernetes platform and how to design and deploy software on this platform. The focus of this course is to prepare you with the basics of this platform so you can build great software using the platform.
Whether you’re a developer looking to learn Kubernetes, an IT professional seeking Kubernetes training, or simply want to improve your containerization skills, this course is the perfect starting point for learning Kubernetes.
The course is created by Faisal Masood, who has also published two books in Kubernetes and ML Space. So what are you waiting for? Enroll in this exciting course!
What’s in this course?
You will start with the understanding of Why you need Kubernetes. The problems it solves and how you can use it to simplify your application. You will see some of the challenges in the distributed software world and how Kubernetes can help you write scalable software.
The following section is Understanding the Architecture of Kubernetes. It is logical to understand the core components. This will help you design software that can use the capabilities of Kubernetes to the max. You will see what the control plane, kubelet, and many more components of the platform are.
The third section is about Running applications on Kubernetes. You will run a stateless and stateful workload and grasp what is required to run an application on the platform. You will see some of the Kubernetes objects in action, such as ConfigMaps, Secrets, Deployments, and Ingress, to name a few.
The last section covers different Kubernetes offerings available in the marketplace. Understanding what is available in the upstream and paid version of the Kubernetes system is essential. You will see that you do not need to DIY (you can do it if you want) and that you can quickly bring value to your business by adapting the platform’s enterprise version.
Who this course is for:
- Developers who want to learn Kubernetes and design applications on it
- Architects who want to see what Kubernetes is all about and how it can help in building resilient IT ecosystems
