Kubernetes is an open-source, cloud-agnostic container orchestration system. It is the industry standard for deploying and managing cloud-native applications across environments. This course provides the knowledge necessary to use Docker and Kubernetes to deploy your microservice applications on Kubernetes clusters. While concepts apply across all platforms, hands-on labs and demonstrations in this course use Minikube and the capstone lab will deploy the case study app to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS).
Learning Objectives
- Leverage Kubernetes for container orchestration and automated deployment
- Build, run, and deploy container applications using Docker
- Develop and test Kubernetes-based applications locally with Minikube
- Automate application management using the kubectl CLI and configuration files
- Deploy scalable, fault-tolerant applications using Deployments, Services, Jobs, CronJobs, and DaemonSets
- Perform zero-downtime migrations with rolling updates, blue/green, and canary deployments
- Persist application data with Persistent Volumes, StatefulSets, ConfigMaps, and Secrets
- Simplify Kubernetes deployments using Helm
- Manage Kubernetes security with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Enhance Kubernetes networking with network policies
Who Should Attend
Architects, engineers, and developers who want to learn Kubernetes to build cloud-native, microservice applications and automate their deployment using Kubernetes on AWS using Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS).
Hands-On Labs
This class includes hands-on labs throughout. Students will work on a case study application and enhance it throughout the course. The labs emphasize Kubernetes fundamentals.
