This course is designed for IT professionals and developers eager to master cloud-native applications. Dive deep into the world of Kubernetes, where you'll learn to seamlessly deploy, manage, and scale applications in any environment—be it cloud, on-premise, or hybrid. This course will equip you with the skills to configure persistent storage, manage networking, and ensure application decoupling for enhanced flexibility and resilience. By the end of the course, you'll be adept at leveraging Kubernetes' powerful features to optimize application performance and reliability.

In this module, you'll learn all you need to know to learn applications in Kubernetes. I'll start by explaining what Kubernetes is and how it fits into cloud native environments. Next, you'll learn how to install Kubernetes, either in a minikube-based test environment, in cloud, or on-premise. And then you'll learn what is needed to run applications in Kubernetes, which is followed by lessons about providing access to applications and configuring your workloads with persistent storage. In the last lesson in this module, I'll explain how to provide configurations to applications in a cloud native way using config maps and secret resources.
