Kubernetes Fundamentals

Audience:

This course is designed for anyone who plans to work with Kubernetes at any level or tier of involvement, any company or individual who wants to advance their knowledge of the cloud environment, any Developer/Engineer/SA beginning their Kubernetes Learning, and Project Managers/Leads.

Prerequisites:

Linux for Absolute Beginners, or any other Formal Linux Training.

Course Description:

This class introduces students to Kubernetes! This is the best place to start before embarking on your Certified System’s Administrator (CKA), or Certified Application Developer (CKAD) learning track. Kubernetes is a Cloud Orchestration Platform providing reliability, replication, and stability while maximizing resource utilization for applications and services. By the conclusion of this hands-on training you will go back to work with all necessary commands and practical skills to empower your team to succeed, as well as gain knowledge of important concepts like Kubernetes architecture and container orchestration. We prioritize covering all foundational objectives and concepts necessary for performing common operations on a Kubernetes Cluster. You will command and configure a high availability Kubernetes environment capable of demonstrating all “K8s’’ features discussed and demonstrated in this course.

Course Objectives:

In this course, you will: 

• Understand Kubernetes architecture and core cluster components
• Deploy and manage workloads using Kubernetes primitives (Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments)
• Create, modify, and manage Kubernetes resources using YAML manifests
• Configure container health checks, security contexts, and observability tools
• Manage compute resources through limits, requests, and quotas
• Collect and analyze logs from containers and Pods
• Configure and use persistent storage with PersistentVolumes and PersistentVolumeClaims
• Implement and scale application workloads (Deployments, ReplicaSets, DaemonSets, StatefulSets)
• Expose applications internally and externally using Services (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer)
