Kubernetes (k8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and containerization of applications. Kubernetes provides a cloud-agnostic container orchestration system and is supported by most major cloud providers.
In this 2-day hands-on Kubernetes course, you will learn to deploy containerized applications on Kubernetes, and scale those applications to handle dynamic traffic. You also learn how to continuously deploy new application versions in a Kubernetes cluster to provide application updates with no downtime. This course ends with a section on Kubernetes security and the Kubernetes ecosystem of tools including Helm and Rancher.
This hands-on course is designed for anyone wanting to learn how to deploy containerized workloads on Kubernetes.
