About the course

☸️ Scale applications the way large companies do

Docker Compose works great for a single server. Kubernetes solves a different problem: runs dozens of copies of your application, automatically restarts failed pods, and distributes load. In this course you’ll deploy a real application in a cluster.

In this course you’ll master Kubernetes in practice in 5 lessons:
- Basics: minikube, first Pod, kubectl commands
- Deployments and Services: auto-scaling, Load Balancing, health checks
- Configuration and data: ConfigMaps, Secrets, Volumes, StatefulSets
- Networking and Ingress: Ingress controllers, SSL/TLS, DNS
- Production readiness: Helm charts, monitoring, CI/CD

Stack:

kubernetes · kubectl · minikube · helm · nginx-ingress · docker

Requirements:

Knowledge of Docker is required — take our Docker course first if needed. Basic Linux CLI and YAML.
