Video description

3.5 hours of video instruction

Step-by-step instructions for building your own Kubernetes microservice.

Overview:

  • Learn Kubernetes basics from the ground up.
  • Get step-by-step instructions and learn with hands-on labs.
  • Get automated feedback on real-world scenarios using the author’s self-grading labs.
  • Get complete knowledge on container orchestration to run applications as microservices and enhance your career.

Kubernetes Step-by-Step teaches Kubernetes basics from scratch. This is a course for true beginners, starting with defining concepts like “what are containers” and “how do you run an app as a container,” and then progressing from there. The goal is to give people the basic skills needed to then really start using Kubernetes.

Included in this course are self-grading labs, so you can test your skills and see in real time how you perform. Practicing with labs is an essential part of learning Kubernetes and this course provides the rare opportunity to truly practice while you learn.
