This course on Kubernetes for Absolute Beginners, was primarily designed with the beginners in mind.
You’ll learn a lot of DevOps workflow hands-on in this course.
In addition to covering everything you need to known about Kubernetes, this course also covers the very basics on virtualization and cloud technologies, including Docker Containers.
This is a hands-on Kubernetes course with a lot of Labs, and Demos.
Here is a brief summary of what you’ll learn in this course:
Virtual Machines,
Docker containers,
Difference between Virtual Machines and Docker Containers,
How to build Docker Container Images and run them.
How to push Docker Images to Docker Hub Registry
Difference between Docker and Kubernetes
What is Kubernetes

Introduction
Docker Containers - Crash Course
Microservices Architecture
Kubernetes
Our goal is to create a 3 node Kubernetes Cluster. In this video, we'll create 3 Virtual Machines - one VM would function as a Kubernetes Master Node and the remaining two VM's would function as Kubernetes Worker Nodes.
We'll use the Google Cloud Platform to create the 3 Ubuntu Virtual Machines.
In this video, we'll put together a Kubernetes Cluster using the 3 Ubuntu Virtual Machines we created in the previous video. Our goal is to create a 3 node Kubernetes cluster( one master node and two worker nodes)
When you build a 3 node cluster with one master and two worker nodes, the pods will be distributed between the two worker nodes.
You'll notice a problem when you try to refresh the browser or poll the URL multiple times, similar to what the script does.
This problem has something to do with the networking in the Kubernetes.
This is because I use the IP address of one of the worker nodes as the load-balancer external IP address. So the pods running in that worker node would respond, but the pods running in the other worker node couldn't be reached. Eventhough the IP addresses of both worker nodes are pingable from each other.
This seems to be a bug in the Kubernetes Calico CNI driver.
To workaround this problem, I drained and brought down the other worker node, so that all pods run in the worker node who's IP address has been assigned to the load-balancer service. This will enable the load balancer to talk to all pods.
This is just to clarify the issue and make you be aware of the issue. Hope you could work around it when you try it on your own.
