Kubernetes in Practice is your one-stop shop for learning how to build, deploy, scale, and manage Kubernetes in a step-by-step process.

You will learn all the most important concepts including: architecture, pods, deployments, services, ingress, and a whole lot more. Once you have the fundamentals out of the way, you will get the opportunity to put your skills to work in a project where you will create and run an application in a real Kubernetes cluster.

By the time you finish this course, you will have complete confidence when it comes to deploying and managing kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes in Practice

Given that we have a few applications running in our cluster, each backed by a Kubernetes service providing a stable endpoint that we can use to reach them, we still need a way to actually find these services. That is, if `app-a` wants to talk to `app-b` using `service-b`, how does it know where it should send requests to?

In a previous example, we have used the service IP directly, which is better than hardcoding the pods' IPs, as it will not change as pods come and go. But let's see what happens if we recreate this same service:

Learn how we can find the running services using service discovery.
