Summary
The course is part of this learning path
This training course is designed to help you master the skills of deploying cloud-native applications into Kubernetes.
Observe first hand the end-to-end process of deploying a sample cloud-native application into a Kubernetes cluster. By taking this course you'll not only get to see firsthand the skills required to perform a robust enterprise-grade deployment into Kubernetes, but you'll also be able to apply them yourself as all code and deployment assets are available for you to perform your own deployment:

Kubernetes Resources
This training course provides you with in-depth coverage and demonstrations of the following Kubernetes resources:
- Namespace
- Deployment/ReplicaSet
- Pod
- Service
- Ingress/Ingress Controller
- StatefulSet
- Persistent Volume
- Persistent Volume Claim
- Headless Service
- NetworkPolicy
Learning Objectives
What you'll learn:
- Learn and understand the basic principles of deploying cloud-native applications into a Kubernetes cluster
- Understand how to set up and configure a locally provisioned Kubernetes cluster using Minikube
- Understand how to work with and configure many of the key Kubernetes cluster resources such as Pods, Deployments, Services, etc.
- And finally, you’ll learn how to manage deployments and Kubernetes cluster resources through their full lifecycle.
Demonstration
This training course provides you with many hands-on demonstrations where you will observe first hand how to
- Create and provision a Minikube Kubernetes cluster
- Install the Cilium CNI plugin
- Build and deploy Docker containers
- Create and configure Kubernetes resources using kubectl
Prerequisites
- A basic understanding of containers and containerization
- A basic understanding of software development and the software development life cycle
- A basic understanding of networks and networking
Intended Audience
- Anyone interested in learning Kubernetes
- Software Developers interested in Kubernetes containerization, orchestration, and scheduling
- DevOps Practitioners
- [Instructor] Welcome back. Before we finish, let's do a quick review of everything that you've learnt in this course, and, what the key takeaways were.
But, before I do, let me congratulate you again, on completing this course!
You learnt how to set up and configure a locally-provisioned Kubernetes Cluster using Minikube, perfect for testing and prototyping. You then learnt how to set up and deploy a cloud native application into a Kubernetes Cluster, using the right cluster resources for the right job. You learnt how to work with and configure many of the key Kubernetes Cluster resources, such as pods, deployments, services. Ingresses and network policies, et cetera. And finally, you learnt how to manage deployments, and Kubernetes Cluster resources, through their full life cycle, including how to perform rolling updates to maintain uptime.
Thank you again for taking this course. We do hope you've enjoyed it. Please feel free to contact either myself or the wider team here at Cloud Academy. You can do so by emailing us at support@cloudacademy.com. And finally, best of luck with your adventures ahead with Kubernetes.
