What Will I Learn?

• Learn about container and container orchestration using kubernetes
• Operate kubernetes for microservice architecture
• Use and configure nginx as ingress controller for kubernetes cluster
• How to use argocd for gitops implementation
• Kubernetes concept from the very beginning : pod, deployment, volume, service, ingress, horizontal pod autoscaling
• What is istio and how it relates with kubernetes
• Simplify, or eliminate application code by using istio & envoy proxy
• Create kubernetes analytics using prometheus & grafana for metrics visualization
• How to use helm on kubernetes, including create helm and helm repository with chartmuseum
• Istio traffic management, circuit breaker, canary release, dark launching, and security using mutual TLS (mTLS)
• Kubernetes & istio implementation using GCP (Google Cloud Platform) / GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine)

Requirements

• Just some familiarity with basic linux command (e.g. navigate to folder, run shell command). But other than that, you don't need anything, we will learn from the very beginning
• A laptop (Windows / Mac / Linux) with at least 4 CPU core and 8 GB memory (16 GB reccomended)
• No programming experience required

Target audience

• Anyone who wants to learn about devops, especially kubernetes and istio
• Those who find a career path as devops engineer or SRE (Site Reliability Engineer)
• Cloud infrastructure engineer who wants to leverage modern technology (kubernetes, istio) especially on google cloud platform (GCP)
• Technical manager who wants to know how to automate microservice infrastructure using kubernetes, istio, and gitops
