Course Intro and Orientation0:35
Welcome to Kumulus Technologies Kubernetes Quickstart. By the end of this course you'll understand what Kubernetes is all about and, if you follow along with the demo sessions, you'll have practical, hands-on experience deploying and running Kubernetes.

At the end of each section, we've included downloadable pdf copies of the lecture slides. You can use these to review concepts, copy or click links to supplementary materials, and to copy commands used in the demo/lab sections.

Kubernetes Architecture1:53
In this section you'll learn about how Kubernetes is put together and how the pieces work to provide an unequalled ability manage container-based applications at scale.
Underlying Resources2:55
Kubernetes is software and requires supporting infrastructure to run. Here we look at the compute, storage and network requirements for running Kubernetes.
Kubernetes on OpenStack0:49
Kubernetes, as an application, still runs on hardware == infrastructure. This lecture introduces the concept of using OpenStack, an open source Infrastructure as a Service software to manage the hardware that you are deploying Kubernetes on.
Key Components6:49
At the end of this section you'll understand key k8s components such as Pods, Replica Sets, Kubernetes Services and more.
Section Resources0:09

Deploying an Application7:25
In this section, you'll learn the basics of deploying a (Docker) image with Kubernetes to create a container-based deployment of an application.
Scaling an Application18:15
Deploying an application is only the first step. In this section you'll learn how to use Kubernetes to scale up and scale down the number of instances of your application.
Section Resources - Deploying and Scaling Applications0:02

Requirements

We've targeted this course to be accessible to anyone, however, you will get more out of the course if you are generally familiar with the Linux command line. You'll need access to a personal computer or virtual server system to run the labs.

Description

This short course provides an initial opportunity to understand what Kubernetes is, how it fits into the world of cloud-native software and offers an opportunity to try out Kubernetes on your own. It is intended as a "first look" at Kubernetes' function as a container orchestration tool and is appropriately followed up, if appropriate for you, with our Kubernetes bundle.

This course will provide you with an understanding of the basic architecture and functionality of Kubernetes, a container orchestrating/scheduling system. More importantly you will be able to follow along on your laptop (or compute environment of your choice) as you instructor shows you how to launch Kubernetes and use it to deploy, manage and troubleshoot Docker containers.

Who this course is for:

Anyone that wants to understand the basic architecture and features of Kubernetes and how it is used to manage Docker container based apps.
