Learn the basics of Kubernetes' ecosystem and its applications.

Kubernetes Essentials

Kubernetes helps us deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. It abstracts the underlying infrastructure of applications, meaning it doesn’t matter if we deploy our applications to Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Linode, or our own on-premises datacenter.

In this module, we’ll learn what Kubernetes is,  why we need it,  how it's expected to change, and how we can use it to create containerized applications. By the end of this module, we will be ready to tackle more advanced concepts and take our Kubernetes skills to the next level.

Getting Started with Kubernetes

As this is a hands-on course, you will be working with a sample application.

# The sample application

You do not have to stress about the application if you are not a developer. The focus of the course is Kubernetes, not the application. Plus, everything will be explained in layman terms when discussing the application.

If you are interested, the code for the application is provided in the SPA widget below:


Get introduced to the sample application, the required set-up, and tools used throughout the course to enhance your learning experience.
