Containerized applications are orchestrated by Kubernetes, also known as "K8s," to run on a cluster of hosts. Using either on-premises or public cloud platforms, the K8s system automates the deployment and management of cloud native applications. It automates the requirements for dynamic container networking and distributes application workloads across a Kubernetes cluster. Additionally, Kubernetes provides automatic scaling, allocates storage and persistent volumes to running containers, continuously maintains the desired state of applications, and offers resilience.
Training Duration: 4 Days
- Certificate Of Completion Available
- Group Private Class
- VILT Class Available
- SBL-Khas Claimable
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.
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
- Linux concepts and command line proficiency
- General networking proficiency
