Course Description

Kubernetes is a solution that orchestrates and maintains containerized applications effectively. Since its introduction in 2014 by Google, this open-source system has developed into the tool of choice for managing all kinds of distributed workloads. It is an essential part of today's DevOps world, helping to develop and deploy scalable applications and workflows of any kind.

In this course, you'll become a Kubernetes champ with hands-on experience using Kubernetes on the command line. You will master kubectl, the Kubernetes command line tool, and use it to interact with real Kubernetes clusters. You will learn the fundamentals of Kubernetes and understand how to deploy and orchestrate containers using Manifests and kubectl instructions.

After an introduction to Kubernetes and its relation to modern software architecture and cloud-nativeness, you will learn your first Kubernetes objects and how to apply them like a pro.

As you progress, you'll learn about more advanced concepts like stateful applications, storage, and networking. To wrap up, you will use these concepts in an exemplary MLOps workflow.
