What you'll learn

  • Improve their odds of succeeding at the CNCF Certified Kubernetes Administrator test
  • Build and administer Kubernetes clusters - on-premise, as well as on all major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Understand and employ advanced deployment solutions using Kubernetes
  • Master the important aspects of Kubernetes - pods, replicasets, deployments and services

Requirements

  • Understanding of basic computer science concepts: What an operating system and executable unit are
  • Basic understanding of cloud computing would help, but is not required
  • Basic understanding of what a container is would help, but is not required

Description

Kubernetes is a container orchestration technology - a way to create and deploy clusters of machines running containers, usually Docker containers.

Kubernetes is also one of the hottest topics in tech today, because it is perhaps the only straightforward way to architect a hybrid, multi-cloud compute solution.

Let's parse that:

  • Hybrid: This is a solution where an enterprise has a private cloud or on-premise data center, in addition to using one of the public cloud providers (such as AWS, GCP or Azure). Any firm migrating to the cloud is going to have to run a hybrid setup, at least during the migration
  • Multi-cloud: This refers to the use of more than 1 cloud provider. Why is this so important? Well, because most large firms are unwilling to be completely locked into one provider, particularly after events like Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods (that gave pause to a whole lot of potential AWS customers, who decided that 'multi-cloud' makes sense for strategic reasons)
  • Only straightforward way: Most cloud providers offer a range of compute solutions, ranging from PaaS (Elastic Beanstalk, or Google App Engine) to IaaS (EC2, or Google Compute Engine VMs). The reality is that PaaS ties you down to 1 cloud provider, and IaaS is a lot of hassle, during migration and beyond.
  • Kubernetes is supported by each of the Big-3: GCP has a special relationship with Kubernetes (since K8S originated at Google) but now AWS and Azure support it as well. Kubernetes has won the battle of the container orchestration systems.

This is why containers running on Kubernetes constitute the hottest compute choice for a hybrid, multi-cloud world.

Here is now is what this course contains:

  • Docker, Kubernetes and the cloud platforms: understanding the inter-relationships
  • Pods and containers: Pods are the basic building block in K8S; each pod holds one or more containers that are tightly-coupled to each other
  • ReplicaSets: Higher-level abstractions that provide scaling and auto-healing (they encapsulate pods, and bring new pods back up if the old ones crash)
  • Deployments: Even higher-level abstractions that provide versioning, fast rollback, rolling updates and more
  • Services: Front-end abstractions (think of them as similar to load-balancers) that are loosely coupled with backend pods. Services provide a static, stable network frontend IP, as well as load-balancing
  • Other K8S objects: StatefulSets, Secrets, ConfigMaps, Jobs and CronJobs and more
  • CKA test tips: We don't reveal any information about the test that we should not, such as specific questions. But we do discuss the test format, what to expect, pitfalls to avoid, and strategies for success 

Hope you enjoy the course!





Who this course is for:

  • Cloud Architects looking to understand the compute choices on AWS, Azure and GCP
  • Technical decision makers evaluating a hybrid, multi-cloud solution
  • Devops professionals looking to master Kubernetes
  • Anyone seeking to take and pass the CNCF Certified Kubernetes Administrator test

The course is very informative, and I have been able to follow along with my own kubernetes cluster. That said, a lot of information is repeated multiple times in each section, forcing me to skip ahead. I think a lot of videos could be pruned and combined together to reduce the fluff. Still, I can't take off more than 0.5 stars for this issue.

Loonycorn is us, Janani Ravi and Vitthal Srinivasan. Between us, we have studied at Stanford, been admitted to IIM Ahmedabad and have spent years  working in tech, in the Bay Area, New York, Singapore and Bangalore.

Janani: 7 years at Google (New York, Singapore); Studied at Stanford; also worked at Flipkart and Microsoft

Vitthal: Also Google (Singapore) and studied at Stanford; Flipkart, Credit Suisse and INSEAD too

We think we might have hit upon a neat way of teaching complicated tech courses in a funny, practical, engaging way, which is why we are so excited to be here on Udemy!

We hope you will try our offerings, and think you'll like them :-)
