Overview

This course is an introductory course to Kubernetes with K3s and GKE. In this course, you will develop software with a microservice architecture that utilizes Kubernetes to serve software that scales and deploys automatically. And learn how to manage it all.

This course can not be completed with the faculty computers. Attendees need to provide their own computers with admin / superuser privileges.

Prerequisites

Attendees are expected to have completed DevOps with Docker or have Docker and docker-compose experience. In addition, experience with web software is required, such as Full Stack Web Development or equivalent. Attendees need admin/superuser privileges to complete the exercises and the examples of the material on their computers.

I recently completed the "DevOps with Kubernetes" course, and I must say it was an outstanding learning experience. The course is designed as an introduction to Kubernetes, with a focus on K3s and GKE, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage these technologies for efficient software development and deployment.

The course content is well-structured, starting with the basics and gradually progressing to more advanced topics. One of the key strengths of the course is its emphasis on hands-on experience. Throughout the modules, attendees actively engage in developing software with a microservice architecture, allowing for a practical understanding of Kubernetes and its capabilities.

The decision to use K3s and GKE adds a practical dimension to the learning process. K3s, being a lightweight Kubernetes distribution, ensures that even attendees with less powerful hardware can actively participate without sacrificing performance. The integration with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides insights into managing Kubernetes clusters on a cloud platform, a valuable skill in real-world scenarios.

However, it's important to note that attendees are required to bring their own computers with admin/superuser privileges. This allows for a more personalized and flexible learning experience but might pose a challenge for those without such permissions on their devices. Therefore, potential participants should ensure they meet the prerequisites, including completing "DevOps with Docker" or having equivalent Docker and docker-compose experience.

The course assumes familiarity with web software, making it accessible for those with Full Stack Web Development experience. This prerequisite ensures that participants can fully grasp the concepts and seamlessly apply them to their projects.

In summary, the "DevOps with Kubernetes" course is a must for anyone looking to enhance their skills in container orchestration and deployment. The combination of theoretical knowledge, practical exercises, and real-world applications makes it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced professionals. The emphasis on using attendees' own computers adds a practical touch, but potential participants should ensure they meet the prerequisites for a seamless learning experience. Overall, a highly recommended course for anyone aiming to excel in the dynamic field of DevOps and Kubernetes.
