Kubernetes Fundamentals

Overview

When deployments crash and failures go undetected, Kubernetes is what keeps production workloads running. This course takes you from zero to running production-grade containerized applications with complete confidence. Here is what you will build skills in: • Kubernetes Architecture You will understand how a cluster operates so you can set up, manage, and troubleshoot any Kubernetes environment without getting lost. • Cluster Setup You will get a real Kubernetes environment running using Minikube, VirtualBox, and Kubectl from day one. • Deployments and Scaling You will deploy, scale, and monitor real applications using YAML, Pods, Replica Sets, and the Kubernetes Dashboard. • Application Networking You will ensure external traffic reaches your app and internal services communicate reliably using Pod-to-Pod, Pod-to-Service, Ingress, and Egress. • Persistent Storage You will ensure no data is lost when containers crash or restart by managing Volumes, Persistent Volumes, and the storage lifecycle.
