Kubernetes Series of Courses

Welcome to our comprehensive Kubernetes course series. In this series, you'll gain insights into one of today's most powerful cloud computing technologies—Kubernetes. Supported on all major cloud platforms, Kubernetes enables the management of sophisticated, scalable applications across diverse environments. Mastering Kubernetes requires a solid grasp of containers, application development, YAML configuration, and more. This series covers a wide range of topics including architecture, networking, load balancing, monitoring, auto-scaling, configuration, security, and storage.

Because Kubernetes attracts a diverse audience—from beginners to seasoned professionals and application developers—our training is designed to be both comprehensive and targeted. To best serve your needs, we offer a three-course series tailored to different levels and career paths:

• Kubernetes for Absolute Beginners
• Certified Kubernetes Administrators (CKA)
• Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)

Each course is carefully curated to address specific topics and certification requirements. Rather than overwhelming you with all topics at once, we have segmented the content so you can focus on what matters most for your role and career growth.

Course Overviews

Kubernetes for Absolute Beginners

This course is perfect for individuals new to containers and orchestration. It provides a high-level overview of Kubernetes without diving too deep into technical complexities. Key learning outcomes include:

• Setting up a simple lab environment for hands-on Kubernetes experimentation
• Grasping the prerequisites and basic concepts of Kubernetes
• Deploying applications using fundamental Kubernetes components such as Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments, and Services

Kubernetes for Administrators

Designed for professionals aiming to manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters, this course delves into advanced topics, such as:

• Detailed scheduling and monitoring techniques for optimal cluster performance
• Cluster maintenance, security, and robust storage management practices
• Effective troubleshooting techniques in production environments

This course is particularly beneficial for those preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam, offering the blend of theoretical insights and practical skills needed to excel as a Kubernetes Administrator.

Kubernetes for Developers

Targeted at application developers, this course covers how to design, build, and deploy cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. While prior experience with development platforms like Python or Node.js is helpful, the course emphasizes managing applications rather than complex coding challenges:

• Managing application configurations with ConfigMaps, Secrets, and Service Accounts
• Working with multi-container Pods
• Implementing Readiness and Liveness Probes for robust application performance
• Effective logging, monitoring, and managing Jobs, Services, and networking

This course acts as a strong foundation for those aspiring to earn the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) credential.

Hands-on Learning

Each course is packed with coding exercises and quizzes to reinforce your understanding of developing and deploying applications using Kubernetes. While some topics span across multiple courses, these areas are revisited as necessary to ensure clarity and comprehension.
