What Will I Learn?

• Install and configure Kubernetes (on your laptop/desktop or production grade cluster on AWS)
• Use Docker Client (with kubernetes), kubeadm, kops, or minikube to setup your cluster
• Be able to run stateless and stateful applications on Kubernetes
• Use Healthchecks, Secrets, ConfigMaps, placement strategies using Node/Pod affinity / anti-affinity
• Use StatefulSets to deploy a Cassandra cluster on Kubernetes
• Add users, set quotas/limits, do node maintenance, setup monitoring
• Use Volumes to provide persistence to your containers
• Be able to scale your apps using metrics
• Package applications with Helm and write your own Helm charts for your applications
• Automatically build and deploy your own Helm Charts using Jenkins
• Install and use kubeless to run functions (Serverless) on Kubernetes
• Install and use Istio to deploy a service mesh on Kubernetes
• Continuously Develop using Skaffold

Requirements

• The first lectures in the course will explain how to install the software. You can choose between a local setup (docker client with kubernetes or minikube), or a full production grade cluster on AWS
• If you want to install Kubernetes on-prem, there are lectures available in this course covering kubeadm, which can install kubernetes on a wide variety of environments
• Knowledge about Linux / Docker / AWS is a plus, but not mandatory to be able to do the course

Target audience

• There is no prior knowledge needed, but a dev/ops/cloud/linux/networks background will definitely help
• The course optionally uses Kubernetes on AWS. If you want to learn more about AWS itself, you will need to read some AWS documentation or take another AWS course. The course only explains how to use Kubernetes on AWS, it doesn't explain how to use AWS itself. Still, all steps that you need to follow are explained in this course.
