Kubernetes Container Orchestration

What You Will Learn

• 1 Learn the foundations of container orchestration and understand how Kubernetes fits into the modern cloud-native ecosystem.
• 2 Understand the Kubernetes architecture, including control plane components, worker nodes, and how they interact to run workloads.
• 3 Apply core Kubernetes objects — Pods, Deployments, Services, and Namespaces — to define and manage containerized applications.
• 4 Implement Kubernetes networking concepts including cluster DNS, Ingress controllers, and network policies to control traffic flow.
• 5 Explore Kubernetes storage abstractions such as Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, and Storage Classes for stateful workloads.
• 6 Analyze Kubernetes configuration management using ConfigMaps and Secrets to externalize and secure application settings.
• 7 Build scalable and resilient workloads using Horizontal Pod Autoscalers, resource requests, limits, and scheduling strategies.
• 8 Develop a Kubernetes security posture using Role-Based Access Control, Pod Security Standards, and admission controllers.
• 9 Implement observability pipelines in Kubernetes clusters using logging, metrics collection, and health probing strategies.
• 10 Create production-ready Kubernetes release workflows using Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps-based continuous delivery patterns.
