Further exploration with a thorough Quiz and Challenges

Kubernetes
is the hottest topics in the realm of
DevOps
and is one of the most demanded skillsets As a DevOps Engineer
salaries upwards of $100000 annually
are readily available
This course was created based on my own personal frustrations when learning Kubernetes
Many courses and books explain the core components as theory but have little hands on usage or examples of the architectural components

My belief
is that an understanding of the
Kubernetes core components
as well as those that are
hidden
in the background provides you with
a much better understanding of how and why Kubernetes works
and will also make you more
much effective with Kubernetes!
"This is outstanding training and something you would expect to pay for from an experienced professional The pace is just right great humour and production quality through the roof Well done James!" - Student Testimonial
After an overview of the history of
Containers

Kubernetes
and the relationship to
Docker
well cover the use of
Dockershim
its deprecation the inception of
Containerd
and
Runc
and well configure these as part of our container runtime environment
Well then install and configure
Nerdctl
a cli for
Containerd
that provides the awesome CLI experience that were used to with
Docker!
CNI plugins
provide an introduction to the world of
Container Network Interfaces

Well build a
Kubernetes cluster
using
kubeadm
and explore common components and functionality -
Pods
the
Pause container Deployments Replicasets
and
Services
With our Kubernetes cluster running well
carefully dismantle the components one by one
Well then start each component repeating the functionality that weve explored and will understand
step by step what each component is and why its important in the Kubernetes ecosystem

"Brilliant succinct course Loved the deconstruction&reconstruction of the cluster in order to drive home what each component does pure genius Thanks so much for sharing James" - Student Testimonial
Well talk through the use of the
Kubelet ETCD Kube-ApiServer Kube-Scheduler Controller-Manager Kube-Proxy CoreDNS and Kube-DNS!
Lastly there are
Quizzes
and
Challenges
to test and take your knowledge further
