Course Description


THIS COURSE INCLUDES HANDS-ON LABS

If you want to get started with cloud computing, you need to understand containers, and that means you MUST learn about the Kubernetes tool. This course will give you the essential foundation.

Containers have revolutionized the way that modern, cloud-native, web-scale applications are being built and run, and Kubernetes is the preeminent container orchestration/scheduling software being used to deploy and manage those applications.

The course begins with an overview of fundamental container concepts (definitions, architectures, function, and the Docker suite of tools). You will then learn about Kubernetes architecture and function, how Kubernetes stacks up to other tools, and, most importantly, how to use the software. During lab exercises, you will build your own Docker container application image and then use Kubernetes to deploy and scale containers running that application.

If you need to understand how this technology relates to the products you are developing, are developing cloud-native applications, or just want to be up to speed on the technology that is operating the cloud, this course will give you tactical experience with the technologies that increasingly underlie modern cloud-based infrastructures and applications.
