Requirements
- To get the most out of this course, students should have a basic understanding of Azure services, including how to navigate the Azure portal and use basic CLI commands. Familiarity with Kubernetes concepts such as pods, deployments, and services will be helpful, though not mandatory. Since we’ll be working with Linux-based virtual machines, a fundamental knowledge of Linux commands, SSH, and running scripts is recommended. Understanding basic networking concepts like IP addressing, DNS, and load balancers will also be beneficial. Students should have a computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux with essential tools installed, including Azure CLI, Minikube, Kubectl, and an SSH client like PuTTY or Windows Terminal. Additionally, an active Azure subscription (free-tier or paid) is required to create and manage resources. While prior experience with Azure Arc is not necessary, having some exposure to Kubernetes and cloud environments will make it easier to follow along.
Description
In today’s multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments, managing Kubernetes clusters across different platforms can be complex. Azure Arc provides a powerful solution to extend Azure’s management and governance capabilities to Kubernetes clusters running outside of Azure, whether on-premises or in other cloud providers. With Azure Arc, you can achieve unified management, enforce policies, and gain visibility across all your clusters from a single pane of glass.
This course is designed to help IT professionals, cloud engineers, and DevOps practitioners understand how to connect, monitor, and manage Kubernetes clusters using Azure Arc. You will start by setting up a Kubernetes cluster using Minikube, then learn how to onboard it to Azure Arc. From there, you'll explore Azure Arc’s capabilities, including policy enforcement, monitoring with Azure Monitor, and application deployment using Kubernetes manifests. Additionally, you’ll gain insights into integrating Azure security and compliance features to ensure robust governance.
By the end of this course, you’ll have hands-on experience in managing Kubernetes clusters efficiently with Azure Arc, ensuring compliance, security, and streamlined operations. Whether you're an aspiring Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), a cloud architect, or an IT operations specialist, this course will equip you with the skills to leverage Azure Arc for seamless Kubernetes management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Who this course is for:
- This course is designed for Beginers, IT professionals, cloud engineers, and DevOps practitioners who want to learn how to connect Kubernetes clusters to Azure Arc. It's ideal for those who are already familiar with Azure and Kubernetes but want to extend their knowledge by integrating hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Azure Arc. System administrators looking to simplify Kubernetes management and developers interested in deploying applications on Arc-enabled clusters will also benefit from this course. Whether you're an aspiring Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), a cloud architect exploring hybrid cloud solutions, or an IT operations specialist managing infrastructure across different environments, this course will provide hands-on experience in connecting, monitoring, and managing Kubernetes clusters using Azure Arc.
