Install and configure a Kubernetes cluster on AWS using kops, including setting up access keys, an s3 bucket, cluster creation, validation, and deploying the Kubernetes dashboard for easy web access.
Create a Kubernetes cluster on AWS using kops by configuring credentials, setting a state bucket, installing kops, and defining node count, region, and availability zones.
Configure a Kubernetes cluster on AWS using kops, defining zones, node and master sizes, and S3 state bucket. Validate the setup and review VPC, subnets, security groups, and load balancer.
Deploy the Kong ingress controller on Kubernetes to manage API routing, using commands from a GitHub repository and observing deployment output.
Deploy Kong ingress controller on Kubernetes in a lab, install required manifests and a custom resource definition, create resources with kubectl, and complete deployment and migration as components come online.
Learn to deploy a dummy application that acts as API services and set up a proxy with the provided command to deploy in your environment.
Create a Kong ingress rule in Kubernetes to expose deployed API services through an API gateway, configuring an ingress route with a path / and a back-end service.
Create ingress rules in Kong to expose Kubernetes services via a load-balanced ingress, using the Kong proxy and admin, with host headers routing to upstream services.
Deploy Nginx app by creating a port 80 deployment, expose it as a service, and configure an egress rule for routing traffic through Kong.
Learn to enable key authentication and rate limiting plugins in Kong, and see how Kong enforces limits by sending headers that reveal remaining requests and allowed limits.
Learn how rate limiting controls API usage by restricting how many requests a service can receive within a set period, protecting services from overload.
Configure rate limiting in Kong by enabling the rate limiting plugin globally and per service, then test requests to see remaining quotas and 429 errors.
Learn how to enable global API key authentication with Kong, issuing and applying authorization keys for consumers in headers or query strings to secure microservices.
Learn to centrally configure rate limiting and key authentication across services using Kong, including setting up a test consumer, issuing an API key, and applying uniform rate limits.
Provision a dc us cluster on AWS using cloud formation templates, creating a single-master, five-slave setup and launching the stack to prepare for Kong deployment on dc os.
Deploy Kong on dc_os by configuring a dashboard login, provisioning a Cassandra and Postgres database, and deploying Marathon load balancer to handle external traffic, then verify the Kong stack.
Learn to install and deploy Kong in Docker containers, create a Docker network, and prepare a database for migration, then access the admin and proxy APIs to expose microservices.
install docker and set up kong with a postgres database, create a dedicated docker network, run migrations, and launch the kong container, then access the admin api to configure routes.
Learn to configure a new service in Kong via the admin API, set up its route, and verify Kong forwards requests to the upstream API.
Configure Kong plugins to add authentication for your service, enabling the key plugin, verify configuration, so only requests with valid keys are proxied to upstream services, with unauthorized requests denied.
Learn how to add consumers to Kong, provision key credentials via the RESTful API, and verify valid credentials for secure access to your microservices.

Containerization technology has changed the software and cloud infrastructure dramatically. More flexibility, portability, scalability, the list of benefits just goes on and on. Kubernetes is a portable, extensible open-source platform that you can use to manage containerized workloads and services. Built upon Google’s massive decade and a half of experience with running production workloads at scale, Kubernetes has managed to take the world by a storm. Kubernetes provides you with all the tool you may require to build and deploy reliable and scalable distributed applications. Moreover, Kubernetes can be used for a wide range of applications because of its ability to be integrated with multiple industry standard infrastructures, architectures, and software.
Kong is a high performance, open source, traffic control, API gateway, and microservice management platform that helps in managing the networking requirements of the highly demanding workloads.
Deploying Kong API Gateway in conjunction with Docker Containers And Kubernetes makes Kong to automatically configure itself and manage the workload traffic as the new applications are deployed and the services for them are created in Kubernetes.
Deploying Kong onto Kubernetes is an easy process. Now integration of services on Kubernetes with Kong is made easier with Kong Ingress Controller for Kubernetes.
We are happy to announce our new training program "Microservices With Kubernetes, Docker & API Gateway Kong" is for you.
In its 2018 cloud predictions, Forrester Research proclaimed that Kubernetes "has won the war for container orchestration dominance."
Kubernetes is now one of the fastest-growing open source projects in history.
A research survey of enterprises using containers found that 71% of respondents were using Kubernetes.
DevOps engineers make an average of $140,000 to $200,000 annually. And one of the most in-demand skills is Kubernetes Deployment.
Job searches for Kubernetes have increased by over 173% over the last year, with global organizations like Microsoft, IBM, JP Morgan Chase, Oracle and VMware looking for suitable candidates.
Enroll in this course today and unlock the full potential for Kubernetes container orchestration capabilities.
What Sets Us Apart?
Complete beginner to expert skills – This course does not assume any expertise with Kubernetes. We give you step by step instructions, and in fact, we hand hold you through all the exercises together with you.
Practical demo tutorials – Where most courses simply bombard you with dense theory and set you on your way, we believe in developing a deep understanding of not only what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it. That’s why we focus on building up your knowledge for infinitely better results down the line.
I am not an engineer; will this course still benefit me?
Whether you are a start-up founder, a product manager or a project manager - it is quite likely that your organization is already using or will be using these technologies. You might not be interested in learning about new technologies. Well, we don’t blame you for that. But whether you like it or not, any business relies on updating the latest technology to survive. Containerization technology is the new frontier of cloud-enabling technology and application development and learning about Kubernetes will help you stay at the forefront of that curve.
Is your IT career on the right track?
Well, if you invest your time and bring an eagerness to learn, we guarantee you real, actionable education at a fraction of the cost you can demand as an IT engineer or consultant. We are confident your investment will come back to you in no time.
