Course Overview
In this course, students will learn how to deploy applications in a manner that is resilient, scalable, and secure when run on top of Kubernetes. Moreover, students will acquire the skills to operate Kubernetes and its applications on a daily basis.
Throughout the course, students will also learn patterns and tools within the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Learning Outcomes
- Learn how to set up and manage a Kubernetes cluster, including networking, storage, and security configurations, which is crucial for both developers when designing applications and administrators when managing the infrastructure.
- Understand how to integrate Kubernetes into a DevOps workflow, including continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices with tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.
