hello

With the huge shift in the technological world, from running servers on local premises to the cloud, the need for containerization has increased. Kubernetes is a powerful open-source platform to manage containers and their services. This course provides an understanding of Docker and Kubernetes.

You will start with the basics of Docker and an introduction to containers and images. Next, you'll learn to create Dockerfile for building images. Then, you’ll learn about Kubernetes, Kubernetes clusters, nodes, and their working. You will finish this course by setting up your own Kubernetes cluster on top of Azure and using the Helm chart to manage it.

In the 4 years (2015-2019), Kubernetes job searches grew by 2,125% and are continuing to grow. Therefore, understanding the basics of Kubernetes, its architecture, and its working would help you land roles like that of a DevOps engineer and a cloud architect.

Running Kubernetes Cluster using Azure Kubernetes Service

An **AKS cluster** is basically a Kubernetes cluster hosted on the Azure cloud. The installation and configuration process of the Kubernetes cluster on a local system involves a lot of work and time. On the cloud, the workload is reduced and installation speed is increased because the process is automated while using the AKS cluster.

We can create an AKS cluster either using the Azure portal or the command line. While creating a cluster, we need some basic information, such as:

* Cluster name
* Kubernetes version we want to work with
* The initial size of the node pool
* A DNS prefix to make the master node publicly accessible

> **Note:** By default, the initial node pool size is two. It is recommended to maintain a minimum size of three for the production environment.
