Mastering Kubernetes Administration: From Intro To Advanced

Unlock the Power of Kubernetes Administration! From Fundamentals to Expertise

What you'll learn

Build a solid foundation in Kubernetes by covering core concepts, components, and architecture for a thorough understanding of its functionality.

Master Docker and containerization, comparing vm and containers, and exploring Docker components and architecture to understand their integration with Kubernete

Explore Kubernetes components like Master and Worker Nodes, Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Namespaces, and Network Policies, with practical examples.

Gain hands-on experience through labs, including Minikube setup, managing Web Server Pods with multiple containers, and using Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Namespac

Learn advanced Kubernetes features like Autoscaling, Persistent Volumes (PV), Persistent Volume Claims (PVC), and managing your own Public or Private Registry.

Use powerful tools like Helm for package management and Prometheus with Grafana for monitoring and visualization, enhancing your Kubernetes administration skill

Gain hands-on on self-managed Kubernetes clusters and cloud-managed solutions like AWS EKS, giving you the expertise to deploy and manage scalable Kubernetes

By the end of the course, you'll have the skills to efficiently administer Kubernetes clusters, optimize containerized applications

Requirements

To take this course, all you need is a PC or laptop with a stable internet connection. No prior experience with Kubernetes or containerization is required, as the course begins with the basics and gradually progresses to advanced topics. For the hands-on labs, we will explore three major ways to set up and configure Kubernetes. First, we will set up Minikube on a local system, ideal for development, testing, and learning. Then, we’ll move on to a self-managed Kubernetes setup on free AWS EC2 machines, providing a practical understanding of real-world configurations. Finally, we will configure and manage an AWS EKS cluster, giving you experience with a cloud-managed Kubernetes environment. With a step-by-step approach and all necessary instructions provided, this course is suitable for both beginners and professionals eager to master Kubernetes.

Description

Embark on a journey to master Kubernetes, the most in-demand container orchestration platform, with this comprehensive course. Designed for beginners and professionals alike, this course starts with the fundamentals, introducing you to Kubernetes concepts, Docker, and containerization, and progresses to advanced Kubernetes administration. You’ll dive deep into key components like Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Namespaces, and Persistent Volumes, gaining a solid understanding of their role in managing and scaling applications.What sets this course apart is its focus on hands-on learning. You’ll explore three practical approaches to Kubernetes deployment: setting up Minikube on a local system for development and testing, configuring self-managed Kubernetes clusters on AWS free-tier instances, and deploying a production-ready environment using AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Each method is accompanied by step-by-step labs that guide you through real-world scenarios, including using Helm for package management, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, and implementing Autoscaling and Persistent Volumes.Whether you’re looking to build your skills for a cloud or DevOps career or enhance your ability to deploy and manage scalable applications, this course provides the comprehensive knowledge, tools, and practical experience needed to succeed. By the end, you’ll be well-equipped to take on any Kubernetes challenge with confidence and expertise.
