In Detail
Kubernetes is the gold standard in the world of container orchestration. It was originally created by Google, based on their experience of building and managing containers at scale (at Google Scale). However it's now driven by Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF), an open body, which also offers the official certification, Kubernetes Certified Administrator. Kubernetes comes with mindboggling features, is very reliable, and is an extremely sophisticated container orchestration engine. It lets you convert your infrastructure into a container as a service (Platform), bringing in some of the awe-inspiring features such as zero down time deployments, fault tolerance, auto scaling, and cloud and storage integrations, which were previously extremely difficult to implement. And it brings it to the masses with its truly open, lock in free eco system. With Kubernetes' sophistication however, comes complexity too. You definitely need a guide while you navigate the complex world of Kubernetes, and this coursedoes just that. It's been created in such a way that you start learning Kubernetes from the ground up, one small step at a time, feature by feature. This course brings you a distilled experience with the author's knowledge of building and managing infrastructures, experience of helping companies with their DevOps journey and more than 300 corporate training sessions. This is a well-researched program in which many variants of applications, with different flows, have been trialled and iterated many times, according to feedback. We have also started incorporating some new and useful techniques including glassboard and mindmaps to explain the concepts better and make things easier.
