Getting Started with Docker and Kubernetes + Hands-On

In this “Kubernetes Practical Guide,” you’ll dive into the world of Kubernetes with this comprehensive, hands-on course designed to equip you with essential skills in modern container management and DevOps practices. Starting from Kubernetes architecture fundamentals, I’ll guide you through:

• Learning Docker architecture and core components like Daemon, client, CLI, registry, and volume and networking types.

• Learning Kubernetes architecture and core components like deployment, services, StatefullSets, Secrets, Storage, Nodes, Pods, and key features like Self-Healing.
• Using Docker Desktop & CLI.
• Building and playing with Docker images and containers.
• Installing and using Kubernetes Command Line Interface (CLI) kubectl.
• Configuring and deploying applications with K8s on your local machine.
• Scaling and managing resources.
• And mastering key components like Minikube and Managed Kubernetes Services.

You’ll gain hands-on experience through real-world applications, including scaling and troubleshooting challenges to ensure you’re ready for complex production environments.

Beyond Kubernetes, its history and success story, you’ll explore service and data mesh concepts, and understand how they address microservices challenges in distributed systems. The course will also introduce you to the latest in cloud computing, DevOps, and AI innovations, providing you with a broader context of how these technologies are shaping the future.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the expertise to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Kubernetes-based applications, integrate service meshes, and leverage cloud and new innovations to enhance your projects.
