Introduction to DevOps with Kubernetes
The course begins with an overview of Kubernetes primitives and DevOps concepts. You'll understand how Kubernetes can assist you with overcoming a wide range of real-world operation challenges. You will get to grips with creating and upgrading a cluster, and then learn how to deploy, update, and scale an application on Kubernetes. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll be able to monitor an application by setting up a pod failure alert on Prometheus. The course will also guide you in configuring Alert manager to send alerts to the Slack channel and trace down a problem on the application using kubectl commands. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to manage the lifecycle of simple to complex applications on Kubernetes with confidence.
Duration: 3 Days
Introduction to DevOps with Kubernetes focuses on leading you with engaging projects that have a direct correlation to how DevOps developers work on Kubernetes in the real world. You’ll not only learn concepts, but you’ll also build out example portfolio pieces and tackle intellectual challenges that prepare you for technical screenings and complex software lifecycle problems.
• Create and manage Kubernetes clusters in on-premise systems and cloud
• Exercise various DevOps practices using Kubernetes
• Explore configuration, secret, and storage management, and exercise these on Kubernetes
• Perform different update techniques and apply them on Kubernetes
• Use the built-in scaling feature in Kubernetes to scale your applications up and down
• Use various troubleshooting techniques and have a monitoring system installed on Kubernetes
If you are a developer who wants to learn how to apply DevOps patterns using Kubernetes, then this course is for you. Familiarity with Kubernetes will be useful, but not essential.
