    "Hi there! I'm Srinath K. I've been a Snr DevOps Engineer & Cloud Architect for over 18 years, working with containers and cloud infrastructure on a daily basis. I've designed this course to take you from absolute beginner to being confident in using Kubernetes, the world's most popular container orchestration system.

  • The Ultimate DevOps Tool: Why Kubernetes and Kubectl1:31

    Think of it as the autopilot for your containerized applications. It's a powerful system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of your applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and it's the backbone of modern cloud computing.

Requirements

  • Absolute Beginners are Welcome! No prior knowledge of Kubernetes or Docker is required. We start from the very beginning.
  • A Willingness to Learn and Experiment: This is a hands-on, practical course. The best way to learn is by typing the commands yourself!
  • Basic Command Line Familiarity is Helpful If you know basic commands like ls (list files) and cd (change directory), you'll feel comfortable immediately.
