Start your career as a DevOps engineer


The demand for DevOps engineers in the IT industry is ever-increasing and for any DevOps professional, knowledge of Kubernetes is essential. On this three-week course, you’ll learn everything you need to get up and running with Kubernetes.


You’ll complete a series of hands-on coding exercises that accompany each major concept, designed to help you deploy your own applications to a Kubernetes platform confidently.


By the end of this course, you’ll have developed the skill set needed to start your career as a DevOps engineer.


Learn key Kubernetes concepts


Starting with basic concepts, you’ll gain a strong foundational knowledge of Kubernetes and learn about Docker and containers.


Next, you’ll put these skills into practice and set up a lab using VirtualBox. From here, you’ll learn to work with Minikube to create a Kubernetes cluster and use YAML files to create and deploy Pods.


With this knowledge, you’ll understand how containers/Pods communicate with one another in Kubernetes.


Unpack microservices architecture


You’ll study Kubernetes services and the architecture of Kubernetes microservices.


This understanding will help you learn how to deploy microservices applications on Kubernetes and gain an insight into the success of brands such as Amazon, Netflix, and Etsy.


Explore Kubernetes on Cloud services


Finally, you’ll explore how Kubernetes runs on different cloud applications such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.


You’ll also gain experience in deploying microservices applications to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Kubernetes cluster, and learn to set up a multi-node Kubernetes cluster using kubeadm.


By the end, you’ll have developed the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to thrive as a DevOps engineer.


This course is designed for anyone wanting to become a DevOps engineer or those already working in the profession and wanting to gain knowledge of Kubernetes.
