Kubernetes Fundamentals

This course provides a hands-on introduction to Kubernetes, designed as a foundational starting point for professionals preparing for the CKA or CKAD certification paths. Participants learn how Kubernetes orchestrates containerized applications to deliver reliability, scalability, and efficient resource utilization. The course emphasizes core concepts such as Kubernetes architecture, cluster components, and essential operational workflows. By the end of the training, learners will be able to deploy, configure, and manage a highly available Kubernetes cluster and perform common day-to-day administrative and application management tasks using industry-standard tools and practices.

• Explain Kubernetes architecture and core cluster components
• Deploy and manage workloads using Kubernetes primitives such as Pods, ReplicaSets, and Deployments
• Create, modify, and manage Kubernetes resources using YAML manifests
• Configure container health checks, security contexts, and basic observability
• Manage compute resources using requests, limits, quotas, and admission controllers
• Collect and analyze logs from containers and Pods
• Configure and use persistent storage with PersistentVolumes and PersistentVolumeClaims
• Implement and scale applications using Deployments, ReplicaSets, DaemonSets, and StatefulSets
• Expose applications internally and externally using Kubernetes Services (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer)

• Professionals who plan to work with Kubernetes at any level
• Developers, Engineers, or System Administrators beginning their Kubernetes journey
• Organizations or individuals seeking to strengthen cloud and container orchestration skills
• Technical leads, project managers, or team leads who need a practical understanding of Kubernetes concepts and workflows

• Linux Essentials knowledge
• Completion of any formal Linux training or equivalent hands-on Linux experience
