Containerization the Kubernetes Way
Containers are here to stay and we need a way to manage them. Kubernetes is the most important container-centric management technology in the world. This course will teach you the Kubernetes way of containerizing your applications in production.
You’ll learn how to deploy Kubernetes on several cloud platforms. Further, you’ll learn to package your code to run in Kubernetes. You’ll dive into the Kubernetes architecture and components and explore how they come together to build a production-class container infrastructure. Later you will learn to work with pods, deployments, and services.
By the end of this course, you’d have gained the required skills to deploy a Kubernetes cluster and a simple application in a development ecosystem.
