Getting Started with Kubernetes, 3rd Edition

Learn how to use, deploy, and manage Kubernetes in six hours

Using lecture and hands-on demos and labs, experienced author, and trainer Sander van Vugt, focuses on the knowledge and skills needed to get you up and running with Kubernetes quickly. The course begins with an examination of the basics-including installation and how it relates to cloud native computing. You will then explore how to work with containers, how to use core Kubernetes components, and how to run applications in Pods and deployments. After that, the course focuses on networking, storage, and configuration, along with the role of the Kubernetes API. You will end with an overview of advanced Kubernetes management, from running your own Kubernetes cluster, running Kubernetes in the cloud, setting up NFS-based storage, permissions, and working with applications in Kubernetes. In the final lesson you’ll learn about troubleshooting.

• Module 1: Kubernetes Fundamentals
• Module 2: Deploying Applications in Kubernetes
• Module 3: Advanced Kubernetes Management
