Kubernetes Bootcamp: Conquer Kubernetes From Zero To Cloud

Orchestrate Cloud Native Applications at Scale with Kubernetes!

What you'll learn

Deploy containerized applications using Kubernetes pods

Implement service discovery for inter-application communication

Organize and isolate resources using Kubernetes namespaces

Scale applications using Kubernetes Deployments

Deploy databases using StatefulSets and manage storage with Persistent Volumes

Separate configuration from code using ConfigMaps and Secrets

Implement automatic scaling with Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)

Manage external access to services using Ingress Controllers

Streamline application deployment using Helm Charts

Automate complex application management with Kubernetes Operators

Deploy a Kubernetes cluster to Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Understand and apply Kubernetes' self-healing and resilience features

Perform rolling updates and rollbacks for zero-downtime deployments

Implement health checks using Liveness and Readiness probes

Use the Kubernetes CLI and VS Code extensions for efficient cluster management

Requirements

Familiarity with any programming language will be helpful, but no expert-level skills are required.

Some comfort with using command-line interfaces will be beneficial, but we'll review essential commands.

You'll need a computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) with a stable internet connection to follow along with the hands-on exercises.

A basic understanding of containerization concepts is recommended. However, we provide an optional Docker crash course for those new to containerization.

The most important prerequisite is enthusiasm and a desire to learn about cloud-native technologies!

Description

Since its open-source release by Google in 2014, Kubernetes has revolutionized cloud computing. Now supported by major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, it's the industry standard for managing cloud-native applications at scale.This comprehensive course will guide you through developing and deploying cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. From foundational concepts to advanced techniques, you'll gain hands-on experience with key Kubernetes features and best practices. The course culminates in a real-world deployment to Amazon Web Services (AWS), providing you with practical, applicable skills for cloud-native development.By the end of this course, you will be able to:Deploy containerized applications using Kubernetes podsImplement service discovery for inter-application communicationOrganize and isolate resources using Kubernetes namespacesScale applications using Kubernetes DeploymentsDeploy databases using StatefulSets and manage storage with Persistent VolumesSeparate configuration from code using ConfigMaps and SecretsImplement automatic scaling with Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)Manage external access to services using Ingress ControllersStreamline application deployment using Helm ChartsAutomate complex application management with Kubernetes OperatorsDeploy a Kubernetes cluster to Amazon Web Services (AWS)Understand and apply Kubernetes' self-healing and resilience featuresPerform rolling updates and rollbacks for zero-downtime deploymentsImplement health checks using Liveness and Readiness probesUse the Kubernetes CLI and VS Code extensions for efficient cluster managementEnroll in our Kubernetes Bootcamp today and gain the practical skills you need to effectively orchestrate your cloud native projects.
