k8s in Practice

Docker and Kubernetes is one of the world’s most popular container and container orchestration tools. Established by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF),

Developers often struggle when first encountering the cloud. Learning about distributed systems, becoming familiar with technologies such as containers and functions, and knowing how to put everything together can be daunting. With this practical guide, you’ll get up to speed on patterns for building cloud native applications and best practices for common tasks such as messaging, eventing, and DevOps.

Learning Objectives

The Learning Path will prepare you to understand and demonstrate your knowledge in each of the general domains of developing cloud-native applications using docker and deploying and kubernetes

• Learn the fundamentals of cloud-native applications
• Explore key cloud native communication, connectivity, and composition patterns
• Learn decentralized data management techniques
• Use event-driven architecture to build distributed and scalable cloud-native applications
• Explore the most commonly used patterns for API management and consumption
• Examine some of the tools and technologies you’ll need for building cloud-native systems

Intended Audience

This Learning Path is intended specifically for Docker and Kubernetes application developers. Anyone interested in learning how to work with Kubernetes will also benefit from this Learning Path.

Prerequisites

A solid understanding of containers, and Docker, in particular, will be of value. If you are not comfortable with Docker and Kubernetes, you are encouraged to complete the Docker and Kubernetes Learning Path.

This Learning path helps you to learn from fundamentals to advanced  Docker and  Kubernetes running on Linux machines. You should be comfortable working with basic Linux commands.
