Kubernetes is a powerful tool which helps you in orchestrating, automate, deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications, giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premise and cloud infrastructures. With Docker containers, your applications can run smoothly without you worrying about the environment where they run!

This comprehensive 3-in-1 Course is packed with step-by-step instructions, working examples and focuses on how to deploy, scale, and maintain your distributed applications with Kubernetes. To begin with, you’ll get an introduction to basic concepts (Nodes, Pods, Replica Sets, Containers, etc) with which you’ll learn to write cloud-native applications that can run anywhere. You’ll create a continuous delivery pipeline with the power of Kubernetes and learn how to troubleshoot your application deployment on Kubernetes. Finally, you’ll build resilient, scalable and highly available distributed applications running on any platform on-premise or in the cloud using Kubernetes and Docker.

By the end of this course, you'll learn all about Kubernetes and Docker to deploy, scale, maintain and secure your distributed applications.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The First Course, Kubernetes for Developers covers how to develop, run, test, and deploy your applications in the cloud. This course will give you detailed instructions, real-world examples, and helpful advice. We will begin by learning to set up the development environment on your local machine. Then move on to package your code into Kubernetes and manage container lifecycles. Once you get a grip on understanding the RBAC Authorization, very easily explore the monitoring techniques with Prometheus and troubleshoot your service account. Finally, you will learn to create a cluster in your Google Cloud Environment and deploy your application in production. By the end of this video, you will develop, run, test, and deploy your application in the cloud, utilizing the power of Kubernetes to its full potential.

The Second Course, Develop and Operate Microservices on Kubernetes, covers how to deploy, scale, and maintain your distributed applications with Kubernetes. The goal of this course is to walk you through the process of getting familiar with Kubernetes and its way of doing things. The course is designed to get you through the process of becoming familiar with the Kubernetes environment in order to be able to deploy, configure, and manage the environment where the services are going to run. You will go through examples based on the author’s real-world experience in working with Kubernetes while building complex distributed architectures. We focus on deploying services that need to store data and learn how Kubernetes Persistent Volumes can be used to create deployments that guarantee data resiliency. Moving on, we learn how to give services access to connection strings, usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information using Kubernetes Secrets. By the end of the course, you will have mastered the best practices and leveraged some of the latest DevOps technologies to increase agility and decrease time-to-market for the services you have built.

The Third Course, Hands-On Kubernetes and Docker for Distributed Applications, covers how to ship and run distributed applications anywhere with Docker. This course shows you how Docker can be used to isolate your application services and their dependencies into a single self-contained unit that can reliably run anywhere. You will learn to build, ship and run distributed applications on any platform using Kubernetes as the orchestrator. By the end of this course, you will be able to use Docker and Kubernetes to build distributed applications that are scalable, resilient, fault-tolerant and secure. Furthermore, you will be able to deploy these applications to any Kubernetes cluster running on any platform on-premise or in the cloud.

By the end of this course, you'll learn all about Kubernetes and Docker to deploy, scale, maintain and secure your distributed applications.
