# Course Introduction

> This course teaches application developers how to troubleshoot Kubernetes issues through real-world scenarios and hands-on labs.

Welcome to Kubernetes Troubleshooting for Application Developers! I'm Nourhan Khaled, your instructor for this course.

Learning Kubernetes from tutorials is one thing, but deploying a production application introduces a unique set of challenges that often feel like you're constantly putting out fires. This lesson bridges the gap between theory and practice—the very course I wish I had during those frustrating debugging sessions.

## Course Overview

We start with a concise refresher on essential kubectl commands for troubleshooting common Kubernetes errors. Then, the course dives into real-world scenarios that mirror the challenges you may face in production environments. You’ll learn how to inspect resources, identify failures, and apply fixes in a structured and repeatable way.

## Hands-On Troubleshooting

This course stands out because you'll troubleshoot and resolve issues in real time—exactly as I do in my day-to-day work. We’ll cover pod configuration errors, deployment rollouts, container image problems, and more, guiding you through each step with clear explanations and best practices.

## Real-World Scenarios

Throughout the lesson, you will explore a range of troubleshooting challenges including:

* Pod configuration errors
* Deployment and rollout issues
* Container settings and image pull problems
* Networking challenges such as service misconfigurations, network policies, and ingress troubleshooting
* Diagnosing RBAC and storage-related issues

  Always test changes in a controlled environment before applying fixes to production. Insufficient testing can lead to unexpected disruptions.
