00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,300

Hello there.



2

00:00:01,410 --> 00:00:07,740

Before we begin, I want to spend a minute on the Kubernetes Series of courses. Kubernetes is one of



3

00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:11,520

the most trending technology in cloud computing as of today.



4

00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:18,210

It is supported on any cloud platform and supports hosting enhanced and complex applications on various



5

00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:23,570

kinds of architectures that make it a vast and complex technology.



6

00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:30,930

There are a set of pre-requisite knowledge required such as containers, applications, YAML files etc.



7

00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:40,200

A lot of topics to discuss, a lot of concepts to cover such as the Architecture, Networking, Load Balancing,



8

00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,580

a variety of monitoring tools, Auto Scaling, Configuration, Security, Storage etc.



9

00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:54,270

There are students from different backgrounds, such as the Absolute Beginners to Kubernetes, or those



10

00:00:54,330 --> 00:01:01,170

with some experience looking for specialized knowledge in administration or those from an application



11

00:01:01,170 --> 00:01:03,560

development background.



12

00:01:03,610 --> 00:01:06,960

There are two certifications in the mix as well.



13

00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,930

One for the administrators and another for the application developers covering all of these topics for



14

00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:20,350

all of these topics for all of these students in a single course is an impossible task. Which is why we created a 3 course



15

00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:27,270

series so each course can target specific audience topics and certifications.



16

00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:33,210

The Kubernetes for the Absolute Beginners course, the Certified Kubernetes Administrator's course and



17

00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:36,770

the certified kubernetes application developer’s course.



18

00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:40,280

Let's look at what we cover in each of these courses.



19

00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:47,160

The kubernetes for the Absolute Beginners course helps a beginner having no prior experience with containers



20

00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:49,050

or container orchestration



21

00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:52,450

get started with the concepts of Kubernetes. As



22

00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:53,860

this is a beginners course.



23

00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,150

We do not deep dive into technical details.



24

00:01:57,150 --> 00:02:04,080

instead we focus on a high level overview of Kubernetes, setting up a simple lab environment to play with



25

00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:10,740

Kubernetes, learning the pre-requisites required to understand and get started, understanding the various



26

00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:17,940

concepts to deploy an application such as pods replica sets deployments and services.



27

00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:25,160

This course is also suitable for a non-technical person trying to understand the basic concepts of Kubernetes,



28

00:02:25,470 --> 00:02:30,200

just enough to get involved in discussions around the technology.



29

00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:37,230

The Kubernetes for Administrators course focuses on advanced topics on Kubernetes and in-depth discussions



30

00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,350

into the various concepts around deploying a high availability cluster for production use case.



31

00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:50,220

Understanding more about scheduling, monitoring, maintenance, security, storage and troubleshooting.



32

00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:55,710

This course also helps you prepare for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator Exam and get you



33

00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:58,510

verified as a Kubernetes Administrator.



34

00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:03,840

The Kubernetes for Developers course is for Application Developers who are looking to learn how to



35

00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,350

design, build and configure cloud native applications.



36

00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:14,760

Now you don't have to be an expert application developer for this course and there is no real coding



37

00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:20,140

or application development involved in either this course or the certification itself.



38

00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:26,430

You only need to know the real basics of development on a platform like python or NodeJs.



39

00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:34,410

This course focuses on topics relevant for a developer such as ConfigMaps, Secrets & ServiceAccounts,



40

00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:42,480

Multi-container Pods, Readiness & Liveness Probes, Logging & Monitoring, Jobs, Services and



41

00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,070

networking.



42

00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:50,000

This course will also help you prepare for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer exam.



43

00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:56,580

All of these courses are filled with coding exercises and quizzes that will help you practice developing



44

00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:59,640

and deploying applications on Kubernetes.



45

00:03:59,650 --> 00:04:03,810

Now remember that there are some topics that overlap between these courses.



46

00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:07,230

So we recap and discuss them and when required.



47

00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:10,340

Now you don't have to take these courses in order.



48

00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:15,630

If you're an administrator you may choose to take the beginners as well as the second course and get



49

00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:21,150

yourself certified as a Kubernetes Administrator. Or take the beginners course and the developers



50

00:04:21,150 --> 00:04:28,020

course to get yourself certified as a Kubernetes Application Developer. Which I’d say is the easier



51

00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:28,690

of the two.



52

00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:33,380

if you were to ask me. So if you are ready, let’s get started.
