Course Overview
This four-day course is the first step in learning about Containers and Kubernetes Fundamentals and Cluster Operations. Through a series of lectures and lab exercises, the fundamental concepts of containers and Kubernetes are presented and put to practice by containerizing and deploying a two-tier application into Kubernetes.
Who should attend
Anyone who is preparing to build and run Kubernetes clusters
Prerequisites
- Linux concepts and command line proficiency
- General networking proficiency
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
- Build, test, and publish Docker container images
- Become familiar with YAML files that define Kubernetes objects
- Understand Kubernetes core user-facing concepts, including pods, services, and deployments
- Use kubectl, the Kubernetes CLI, and become familiar with its commands and options
- Understand the architecture of Kubernetes (Control plane and its components, worker nodes, and kubelet)
- Learn how to troubleshoot issues with deployments on Kubernetes
- Apply resource requests, limits, and probes to deployments
- Manage dynamic application configuration using ConfigMaps and Secrets
- Deploy other workloads, including DaemonSets, Jobs, and CronJobs
- Learn about user-facing security using SecurityContext, RBAC, and NetworkPolicies
