Overview
Kubernetes is a platform for the development of containerized applications that are cloud-native. Kubernetes Operations (KOps) is one of its open-source projects that employ complex Kubernetes cluster configurations and supports the management of high-availability (HA) Kubernetes components.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers and DevOps engineers who wish to learn and operate KOps for simplifying the process of continuous delivery and testing of containerized Kubernetes applications.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Setup and configure KOps along with other necessary Kubernetes tools for cloud-native development.
- Understand KOps concepts that are foundational to DevOps practice.
- Execute automated commands and generate file configurations.
- Build automatic provisioning functions for Kubernetes masters and clusters.
- Create manifests written in any supported Kubernetes syntax for API and component configuration.
- Integrate KOps with any preferred cloud environment while implementing HA principles.
- Generate better orchestration methods for handling Kubernetes clusters and projects.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
