Kubernetes is quickly becoming the de-facto standard to operate containerized applications at scale in the data-center. This course covers the fundamentals needed to understand Kubernetes and get quickly up-to-speed, to start building distributed applications that will scale, be fault-tolerant and simple to manage. From understanding its origin, to its high-level architecture, powerful API and key primitives, this course takes you from nothing to being in a position to start building complex applications. Kubernetes builds on 15 years of Google’s experience managing containerized applications. With a growing open-source community, it is poised to change the way we build and manage applications, as well as change the role of system administrators. This self-paced course will distill key principles, such as pods, deployments, replicasets, and services, and will give you enough information so that you can start using Kubernetes on your own.
You will have access to the course for a full year from the date of purchase (or availability, for preorders), regardless of how quickly you complete the course. You can expect the course to take roughly 35 hours to complete (although the course is self-paced, so you can move as quickly or as slowly as you like).

Testimonials
“Favorite part is probably the labs – good mix of telling you what to do but also why to do it. A lot of times I can reverse engineer what a command is doing, but it helps to have it in plain English.” Jul 2019
“The course provided good coverage of Kubernetes fundamentals, and labs for reinforcing what was covered.” Jun 2019
“I thought the course was well structured. I could tell thought was put into how best to introduce k8s concepts. I’m leaving with the feeling I have a good head for k8s in general, as well as relevant details about some of the history of the development.” Jun 2019
