Kubernetes transforms raw compute into scalable, self-healing workloads managed declaratively through the control plane (api server, etcd, scheduler, controller) and worker nodes.
Explore how Kubernetes serves as the foundation of modern server infrastructure, enabling scalable AI workloads, GPU scheduling, and API-driven on-prem and cloud deployments through platform engineering and custom controllers.
Master on-prem Kubernetes server infrastructure, focusing on real-world failure modes, control plane reliability, and the full stack—from kubelet and container runtime to networking, GitOps, and Cluster API.
Explore Kubernetes architecture and the kcna server infrastructure, from pods and nodes to the control plane, scheduling, networking, and persistent storage with persistent volumes and persistent volume claims.
Cloud-native platforms empower Kubernetes with elasticity and recoverability, making infrastructure as code via standardized images and APIs, with Cluster API and GitOps enabling safe, scalable lifecycle management.
This hands-on practical lab course is designed for beginners who want to learn how to install Kubernetes on an Ubuntu Linux server using modern AI coding agents like Windsurf. Instead of only learning theory, students will perform real installation tasks, basic troubleshooting, testing, and validation steps in a guided lab environment. The course focuses on simple and practical Kubernetes setup methods that help learners understand core cloud-native concepts while preparing for KCNA certification fundamentals.
