Description
Are you ready to dive into the world of Kubernetes? This comprehensive course will guide you through everything you need to know to become proficient in managing Kubernetes clusters. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your skills, this course covers all the essential aspects of Kubernetes.
This course is an excellent preparation for the CKA/CKAD courses. Other courses tell you about Kubernetes, but don't necessarily show you HOW to do it. This course puts a lot of emphasis on learning how to manage Kubernetes clusters from the command line using kubectl, tmux and vim.
These skills are absolutely essential if you are going for your CKA, CKAD or CKS certifications. But these are not taught in the other courses. This course is the missing link for that.
Note that this course is not a complete CKA/CKAD course, further study will be needed for those certifications, and by the end of the course I will suggest the next steps for you.
Course Highlights:
Setting up a Cluster on Your Local Machine
Learn how to configure a Kubernetes cluster on your local machine, making it easy to practice and experiment with Kubernetes in a controlled environment.
Creating a Basic CLI Workflow with Tmux, Vim, and k9s
Develop a robust command-line interface (CLI) workflow using tmux, Vim, and k9s. This setup is also compatible with popular tools like VSCode, enhancing your productivity and efficiency.
These tools are required to know for the CKA/CKAD exams
