Design, Implement and Deploy Kubernetes Cluster from Scratch

Kubernetes is a powerful tool developed by Google for managing containerized applications in a clustered environment. Kubernetes helps you automate, deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications. It gives you the freedom to take advantage of on-premise cloud infrastructures. It also helps you write better cloud-native applications. Kubernetes is a core tool in DevOps; it gives you the ability to schedule and manage containers (Docker or otherwise) at scale. If you’re looking to use Kubernetes in production and have a better understanding of how to manage your containers using Kubernetes. then this Course is perfect for you!

This comprehensive 2-in-1 course is a fast-paced guide offering hands-on and practical guidance with step-by-step instructions to design, implement and deploy Kubernetes Cluster for production grid environment. You’ll initially get up and running with fundamentals of Kubernetes and container orchestration. You'll build your own container cluster and manage it as well as secure the cluster and handle service discovery. Moving further, you'll streamline the way you deploy and manage your applications with large-scale container orchestration. Also, monitor and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters and run highly available Kubernetes. Finally, you’ll be able to use Kubernetes in production and will have a better understanding of how to manage your containers using Kubernetes.

By the end of this course, you'll containerize your applications to build a production-class container infrastructure in the ‘Kubernetes way’.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Kubernetes in 7 Days, covers managing applications in a productionised Kubernetes. This course will help you to unravel the potential of Kubernetes in the shortest amount of time. You will begin by creating your first Kubernetes cluster using Minikube. Then move on to exploring Kubernetes in some more detail and build a complex cluster. By the 4th Day, you will learn to enhance your cluster with a Grafana based monitoring dashboard in your application. Once you’ve acquired knowledge on dashboards, explore how a Kubernetes cluster provisions storage to its applications and learn how to secure them. Finally, learn to create a CI/CD pipeline to build and deploy your applications.

The second course, Kubernetes Recipes, covers how to orchestrate and automate deployment with Kubernetes services. You will first learn how Kubernetes works with containers and will work through an overview of the main Kubernetes features such as pods, replication controllers, and more. Next, you will learn how to create Kubernetes clusters and how to run programs on Kubernetes. Then you will be introduced to features such as high availability, setting up Kubernetes masters, using Kubernetes with Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes using AWS. Later, you will explore how to use Kubernetes-UI and how to set up and manage Kubernetes clusters on the cloud and bare-metal. You will also work through recipes on microservice management with Kubernetes. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to use Kubernetes in production and will have a better understanding of how to manage your containers using Kubernetes.

By the end of this course, you'll containerize your applications to build a production-class container infrastructure in the ‘Kubernetes way’.
