Course Introduction

This is a course for devs, ops, architects; all kinds of IT professionals and engineers who need to understand Kubernetes and container orchestration well enough to use them to deploy, scale, and operate modern applications in "Cloud Native" environments.

Requirements: You don't need to have any prior experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or to know a specific language or framework. The labs and exercises will take place on remote clusters of virtual machines, so if you want to complete the assignments, you should feel comfortable with:

  • Knowing the difference between a container and an image
  • Knowing how to run a container and how to build an image (with Docker or any other container engine)
  • Using SSH to connect to a remote Linux machine
  • Basic shell commands (navigate directories, set environment variables…)
  • Using a text editor like vi, nano, or similar
  • Bundle Fee:

    $499

  • Skill Level:

    Intermediate

  • Course Length:

    8+ Hrs

Course Description

Recorded Live March 2020 via Zoom.

Requirements: to make the most out of this course, you need to be familiar with basic container concepts:

- You know the difference between a container and an image,

- You know how to run a container and how to build an image (with Docker or any other container engine).

You don't need to have any prior experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or to know a specific language or framework. The labs and exercises will take place on remote clusters of virtual machines, so if you want to complete the assignments, you should feel comfortable with:

- Using SSH to connect to a remote Linux machine

- Basic shell commands (navigate directories, set environment variables…)

- Using a text editor like vi, nano, or similar
