Kubernetes Fundamentals
Be able to migrate your own system to Kubernetes
Description
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automatic deploying, scaling and managing of containerized applications. Because of its properties, it’s often used to support microservice architectures. Aspects such as service discovery, central configuration and self-healing are all examples of these properties.
During this two-day course you will first learn the basic concepts and ideas behind Kubernetes, which will be practiced through small exercises. We will then go on to cover a large number of Kubernetes objects, functionality that K8s has to offer, that you will apply in a case.
In this case, the starting point will be a number of Docker images and the end goal is to have a fully working system in Kubernetes that utilizes the Kubernetes objects covered in the course.
After completing this course, you will be able to migrate your own system to Kubernetes.
Learning Goals
