Kubernetes Case Studies: Deploy & Troubleshoot Apps

Overview

By the end of this course, learners will be able to set up Kubernetes clusters, initialize and manage worker nodes, deploy applications with secure practices, configure persistent storage, apply RBAC access control, troubleshoot cluster issues, and build and deploy custom Docker images. The course provides a complete, hands-on learning path that emphasizes both real-world use cases and enterprise-grade practices. Learners will benefit by mastering the end-to-end Kubernetes workflow—from cluster installation and pod scheduling to monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana. Practical exercises ensure that students not only understand the theory but also gain the confidence to implement Kubernetes solutions in production environments. What makes this course unique is its dual focus: first, building a Kubernetes cluster to host containerized applications, and second, extending the learning with a custom Docker image deployment case study. This structured approach bridges fundamental Kubernetes operations with advanced deployment techniques, making the course highly relevant for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals aiming to accelerate their container orchestration skills.

Syllabus

Kubernetes Cluster Setup and Configuration

This module introduces the foundation of Kubernetes cluster setup, including installation, initialization, node management, and workload scheduling. Learners will gain practical skills in configuring a functional cluster, managing nodes, and scheduling pods with resource constraints.

Application Deployment and Security

This module covers the deployment of applications in Kubernetes with secure and reliable practices. Learners will explore deployments, rollouts, persistent storage, cluster connectivity, and access control using RBAC, along with monitoring integration.
