Developing Applications for Kubernetes

As organizations increasingly adopt containerization, understanding how to develop and deploy applications on Kubernetes has become a crucial skill for software developers. This course provides a foundational understanding of Kubernetes from an application developer's perspective. By completing this course, you will gain the practical knowledge to effectively containerize your applications, define their desired state using Kubernetes manifests, and manage their lifecycle within a cluster. You will be equipped to confidently deploy and operate your applications in a robust, scalable, and cloud-native environment. What you'll learn: * Understand core Kubernetes concepts, architecture, and resource objects like Pods, Deployments, and Services. * Design and define containerized applications using declarative YAML configuration manifests. * Configure application networking, storage, and secrets management within a Kubernetes cluster. * Manage application lifecycles, including scaling, rolling updates, and rollbacks. * Apply fundamental security practices for container images and Kubernetes deployments. * Integrate basic continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) principles for automated application deployment. This course begins with an exploration of Kubernetes fundamentals and its core components, progressing through practical steps for defining and deploying applications. You will then delve into managing application state, networking, and essential operational practices. This course is for beginner developers interested in cloud-native application development and deploying services on Kubernetes. No prior experience with Kubernetes is required.
