• Learn How to Work With Kubernetes API
• Learn and Understand YAML Manifests in Kubernetes

Requirements

• Access to a Computer with Internet: You'll need a computer with internet access to install Kubernetes tools like Minikube and Kubectl, and to access cloud services. The course will provide installation guides for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
• Basic Linux Command Line Skills: Since Kubernetes and many of its tools are command-line driven, comfort with using the Linux command line (bash or similar shells) will be very useful.
• Basic Understanding of Containerization: Familiarity with the concept of containerization, especially Docker, is beneficial as Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform. Prior experience with Docker will help you understand how Kubernetes orchestrates containers at scale.
• Basic Knowledge of Cloud Computing: A general understanding of cloud computing concepts can help, as Kubernetes is often used in cloud environments. However, the course will cover necessary cloud-related concepts as they relate to Kubernetes.
