Kubernetes Mastery

Just like how real-world shipping containers revolutionised the way goods are packaged, handled and transported across the globe industry, Docker along with the open container ecosystem is transforming software delivery by bringing in the standardisation.  Docker offers a way to run isolated processes and also allows one to package an application along with its run time environment using primitives such as docker files.  However, when it comes to running docker in a production-like environment, with container workloads spanning across more than one node,  you need a COE ( Container Orchestration Engine). COEs offer clustering and convert your nodes into one supercomputer, make intelligent decisions as to where to schedule the containers, connect containers running on different nodes by setting up multi-host networks and offer many other interesting features such as fault tolerance, zero downtime deployments etc. 

Kubernetes is the gold standard in the world of container orchestration. It was originally created by Google, based on their experience of building and managing containers at scale ( at Google Scale). However, it's now driven by the Cloud Native Compute Foundation ( CNCF), an open body, that also offers the official certification i.e. "Kubernetes Certified Administrator".  Kubernetes comes with mind-boggling features and is a very reliable, and extremely sophisticated container orchestration engine. It can let you convert your infrastructure into a Container as a Service (Platform), bringing in some awe-inspiring features such as Zero Down Time Deployments, Fault Tolerance, Auto Scaling, and Cloud and Storage integrations, which were extremely difficult to implement.  And it brings it to the masses with its truly open, lock-in-free ecosystem.

With Kubernetes' sophistication, however, comes the complexity too. Even though I have been using Kubernetes for more than 2 years now, almost every month, I find something new about Kubernetes, something really cool, be it cloud integrations, or the newly introduced RBAC, be it dynamic storage provisioning, or stateful sets, it's a fascinating world once you start exploring it. However, you would definitely need a guide while you navigate the complex world of Kubernetes, and this course serves just that. its been created in a way that you start learning Kubernetes from the ground up, one small step at a time, feature by feature. 

This course brings to you a distilled experience with my knowledge of building and managing infrastructures, the experience of helping companies with their DevOps journey and more than 300 corporate training. This is a well-researched program and I have tried many variants of applications, with different flows, took feedback, and iterated many times. That's one of the reasons why it took us more than 4 months to even launch the course in its first form.  We have also started incorporating some new and useful techniques including glass board, and mand mindmaps to explain the concepts better and make things easier. I and my team want to make this program the best in the world, and are constantly working towards it.  

Here is what this course will cover, one step at a time:

• Introduction to Kubernetes and the key concepts.
• Setting up a Learning Environment.
• Pods.
• Replication Controllers and Replica Sets.
• Deployments.
• Services.
• ConfigMaps and Secrets.
• Persistent Storage.

Our next version would include many additional topics including:

• Release Strategies.
• Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
• Helm Package Manager.
• RBAC. 
• Ingress Controllers. 
• CI/CD with Kubernetes.  

When you sign up for this course now, you are guaranteed to receive these updates, that our promise to you!  We wish you all the best while learning Kubernetes !!
