Kubernetes is a powerful tool. It can help you manage complex applications and provide you with the ability to easily automate tasks involved in managing them. In this course, we will start exploring Kubernetes from a beginner's standpoint. We will discuss what Kubernetes is and what it does, and we will work with some of the basic functionality of Kubernetes hands-on. We will build a simple Kubernetes cluster. We will also deploy a sample microservice application to the cluster in order to explore how Kubernetes can help easily manage such applications.

A Practical Guide to Kubernetes

## Creating the Class
Let's create our StorageClass.

The **output** shows that the `storageclass "fast"` was `created`.

## Verification
We'll list the StorageClassses in our cluster.

NAME          PROVISIONER           AGE
default       kubernetes.io/aws-ebs 58m
fast          kubernetes.io/aws-ebs 19s
gp2 (default) kubernetes.io/aws-ebs 58m

We can see that, this time, we have a new StorageClass.
## Creating the Deployment
Let's take a look at yet another Jenkins definition.

The **output**, limited to the relevant parts, is as follows.

In this lesson, we will create the Storage Class defined in the previous lesson and verify it.
