Cloud-Native Application Development with Kubernetes

Modern software development demands applications that are scalable, resilient, and easy to deploy. Transitioning to a cloud-native architecture requires a solid understanding of container orchestration to manage these complex systems effectively. This course guides you from the absolute basics of containerization to managing live applications in production environments. You will learn how to package your code, configure services, and maintain system health using industry-standard orchestration tools. What you'll learn: Understand core cloud-native concepts, microservices architecture, and container basics; Package applications into container images and run them locally; Configure Kubernetes pods, deployments, and services for reliable networking; Manage application state using persistent volumes and modern storage solutions; Implement declarative configuration management and basic CI/CD pipeline concepts; Monitor application health using modern observability and logging practices. The course begins with foundational definitions of cloud-native systems before moving into practical configuration, deployment strategies, and orchestration workflows. This text-based program is designed for software developers, system administrators, and aspiring DevOps engineers who are new to container orchestration.
