Spécialisation Advanced Kubernetes

The Advanced Kubernetes - Securing, Monitoring, and Scaling Kubernetes Clusters course is designed for individuals who want to gain expertise in securing, monitoring, and efficiently managing Kubernetes clusters while also understanding how to scale them effectively to meet application demands.

This course will build upon the foundational knowledge obtained in the introductory course. It will guide learners through advanced security measures, assist in gaining expertise in cluster monitoring, and will help them to master techniques for seamless scalability. After completing this course, you should be able to: - Explain the role of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Kubernetes security - Identify the importance of network policies in cluster security - Evaluate the effectiveness of RBAC and network policies in various scenarios - Identify key metrics and indicators for monitoring Kubernetes clusters - Compare and contrast popular monitoring tools for Kubernetes - Analyze monitoring data to detect and troubleshoot issues in the cluster - Explain the importance of resource quotas in managing cluster resources - Describe resource quotas for efficient resource allocation - Summarize the role of auto-scaling in managing cluster scalability

The culminating course in this specialization dives into the integration of Kubernetes with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, providing learners with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between container orchestration and streamlined software delivery processes. Throughout this course, learners explore advanced orchestration techniques, including essential topics such as Helm, Kubernetes Operators, custom controllers, and GitOps workflows. By the end of the course, students will not only have gained proficiency in these advanced Kubernetes concepts but will also possess the practical skills necessary to seamlessly incorporate them into their development workflows. Armed with this expertise, they will be well-equipped to efficiently manage Kubernetes clusters while optimizing the entire software development lifecycle using advanced orchestration techniques, thereby positioning themselves as valuable assets in the ever-evolving world of containerized application deployment.

After completing this course, you should be able to: - Describe the importance of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) in Kubernetes environments - Explain the role of Kubernetes in CI/CD pipelines - Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes applications - Evaluate the effectiveness of CI/CD pipelines in streamlining development workflows - Explain the importance and benefits of Helm in Kubernetes package management - Identify the components and architecture of Helm - Create and manage Helm charts for Kubernetes applications - Analyze and optimize the deployment of applications using Helm - Explore the role and benefits of Kubernetes Operators and custom controllers - Design and implement custom controllers and Operators for Kubernetes applications - Explain the GitOps workflow and its benefits in Kubernetes environments - Integrate GitOps workflows in Kubernetes cluster management
