Kubernetes beyond the Basics with hands-on labs

Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. It offers a rich set of features that facilitate application deployment, scaling, and operations, and this makes it one of the hottest topics right now.

By taking this course you will learn Kubernetes concepts beyond the basics such as environment variables, ConfigMaps, Secrets, DaemonSets and more with hands-on labs.

You will learn how to store data in ConfigMaps and then inject them to pods for setting environment variables, or by mounting them as volumes. We learn also about Secrets in Kubernetes, which is the right place for storing sensitive data.

You will discover also alternative mechanisms for deploying pods in Kubernetes, aside from using deployments, which can be the right solution for certain use cases
