Description

Taught by an award-winning Docker Captain and Kubernetes expert, this Course is the result of a collaboration between Bret Fisher, creator of the #1 Docker & Kubernetes, and Jérôme Petazzoni who is a full-time Kubernetes instructor, as well as one of the original Docker Inc DevOps Engineers! We designed the course to take your Kubernetes skills from first-time user to using K8s in production.

Updates are a thing! You can count on it. Kubernetes is a huge topic and constantly evolving. As a result, this course will grow and evolve with it.

Just starting out with Kubernetes? Perfect. This course starts out assuming you’re new to container orchestration.

And, if you’re using Kubernetes now and need to learn the latest features, I’m here for you! See my topics around dry runs, diffs, logging, rolling upgrades, startup healthchecks, zombie reaping, and more.

Already a Docker Mastery student and want to know what’s different between the two courses? This course assumes you know Docker and dives deeper into Kubernetes and the community of tools around it. Unlike Docker Mastery, which starts with container 101 and takes you through a lot of tools like local development setups, docker-compose, registry, Docker Hub, Swarm basics, Kubernetes basics, and general Docker best practices… this course starts with Kubernetes 101 and has you learning and practicing each feature and workflow you’ll need for running your own Kubernetes clusters, and like all my courses, it focuses on how to use those features with a DevOps mindset and workflow.

Some of the many cool things you’ll do in this course:

Deploy a microservice app using both CLI and YAML
Investigate running apps using CLI, logs, and events
Test out different local Kubernetes installs like Docker Desktop, microK8s, and minikube
Use Stern to view multiple container logs at once
Try different load balancer types with Kubernetes Services
Troubleshoot container and network performance
Create custom labels for controlling load balancer connections
Use the new Server Dry Run to test changes with the API
Recover from a failed update, and rollback updates to previous versions
Test different healthcheck probe types
Use various app config options with built-in Kubernetes features
Quickly patch YAML with a single command
Split up and deploy YAML from git repos using DevOps practices
Deploy the Kubernetes Dashboard web GUI securely
And so much more…

After taking this course, you’ll be able to:

Know when to use Kubernetes for solving real-world problems
Step through the proper decisions to make when creating healthchecks
Understand how to test healthchecks to ensure they don’t create problems
Know when to use different types of app configuration like args, envs, ConfigMaps, and more
Design a ConfigMap with the Downward API for more flexible deployments
Make Kubernetes YAML manifests and deploy using infrastructure-as-code DevOps methods
Protect your keys, TLS certificates, and passwords with encrypted secrets
Lead your team into the future with the latest Kubernetes container skills!

Extra things that come with this course:

Access to the course Slack team, for getting help/advice from me and other students.
Bonus videos I put elsewhere like YouTube, linked to from this course’s resources.
Live Q&A with me on YouTube.
Tons of reference links to supplement this content.
Updates to content as Kubernetes changes the features on these topics.

Who this course is for:

Beginner Kubernetes students that want to learn the latest features and patterns for container orchestration
Sysadmins, developers, and operators that know some Docker, and want to start using multi-server orchestration
Anyone who makes, deploys, or operates software on servers, that already knows container basics
