This class introduces students to Kubernetes! This is the best place to start before embarking on your Certified System’s Administrator (CKA), or Certified Application Developer (CKAD) learning track. Kubernetes is a Cloud Orchestration Platform providing reliability, replication, and stability while maximizing resource utilization for applications and services. By the conclusion of this hands-on training you will go back to work with all necessary commands and practical skills to empower your team to succeed, as well as gain knowledge of important concepts like Kubernetes architecture and container orchestration. We prioritize covering all foundational objectives and concepts necessary for performing common operations on a Kubernetes Cluster. You will command and configure a high availability Kubernetes environment capable of demonstrating all ’K8s’’ features discussed and demonstrated in this course.
