Prerequisites
To make the best of this course, students are expected to have:

  • Familiarity with the fundamental concepts of Kubernetes and public clouds. 
  • Hands-on experience using command line tools and working with APIs. 
  • Familiarity with Prometheus and Grafana, but expertise is not required.
Lab Info
Students will need access to the public cloud consoles of their choice for finding and configuring the required permissions if they wish to follow the cloud provider examples.

Access to a Kubernetes cluster with sufficient permissions for managing OpenCost will be necessary for hands-on testing and working with examples. Kind may be used as an on-premises equivalent if no public cloud deployments are available.
