WEBVTT 0 00:00.480 --> 00:01.300 Hello there. 1 00:01.410 --> 00:07.740 Before we begin I want to spend a minute on a kubernetes series of courses kubernetes it is it's one of 2 00:07.740 --> 00:11.520 the most trending technology in cloud computing as of today. 3 00:11.520 --> 00:18.210 It is supported on any cloud platform and supports hosting enhanced and complex applications on various 4 00:18.210 --> 00:23.570 kinds of architectures that make it a vast and complex technology. 5 00:23.580 --> 00:30.930 There are a set of prerequisite knowledge required such as containers applications yaml files etc. 6 00:31.350 --> 00:40.200 A lot of topics to discuss a lot of concepts to cover such as the architecture networking load balancing 7 00:40.320 --> 00:47.580 a variety of monitoring tools auto scaling configuration security storage etc.. 8 00:47.820 --> 00:54.270 There are students from different backgrounds such as the absolute beginners to kubernetes or those 9 00:54.330 --> 01:01.170 with some experience looking for specialized knowledge in administration or those from an application 10 01:01.170 --> 01:03.560 development background. 11 01:03.610 --> 01:06.820 There are two certifications in the mix as well. 12 01:06.960 --> 01:12.930 One for the administrators and another for the application developers covering all of these topics for 13 01:13.020 --> 01:20.350 all of the students in a single course is an impossible task which is why we created a three course 14 01:20.350 --> 01:27.120 series so each course can target specific audience topics and certifications. 15 01:27.270 --> 01:33.210 The kubernetes for the absolute beginners course the certified kubernetes administrators course and 16 01:33.210 --> 01:36.900 the certified kubernetes application developers course. 17 01:36.900 --> 01:40.280 Let's look at what we cover in each of these courses. 18 01:40.370 --> 01:47.160 The kubernetes for the absolute beginners course helps a beginner having no prior experience with containers 19 01:47.250 --> 01:48.990 or container orchestration. 20 01:49.050 --> 01:52.450 Get started with the concepts of kubernetes. As 21 01:52.500 --> 01:53.860 This is a beginners course. 22 01:53.880 --> 01:57.150 We do not deep dive into technical details. 23 01:57.150 --> 02:04.080 Instead we focus on a high level overview of kubernetes setting up a single lab environment to play with 24 02:04.080 --> 02:10.290 kubernetes learning the prerequisites required to understand and get started understanding the 25 02:10.290 --> 02:17.940 various concepts to deploy an application such as pods replica sets deployments and services. 26 02:17.940 --> 02:25.160 This course is also suitable for a non-technical person trying to understand the basic concepts of kubernetes 27 02:25.470 --> 02:30.030 just enough to get involved in discussions around the technology. 28 02:30.210 --> 02:37.230 The kubernetes for administrators course focuses on advanced topics on kubernetes and in-depth discussions 29 02:37.320 --> 02:43.160 into the various concepts around deploying a high availability cluster for production use case. 30 02:43.350 --> 02:50.220 Understanding more about scheduling monitoring maintenance security storage and troubleshooting. 31 02:50.220 --> 02:55.710 This course also helps you prepare for the certified kubernetes administrator exam and get you 32 02:55.710 --> 02:58.620 verified as a kubernetes administrator. 33 02:58.620 --> 03:03.840 The kubernetes for developers course is for application developers who are looking to learn how to 34 03:03.840 --> 03:08.260 design build and configure cloud native applications. 35 03:08.340 --> 03:14.760 Now you don't have to be an expert application developer for this course and there is no real coding 36 03:14.790 --> 03:20.140 or application development involved in either this course or the certification itself. 37 03:20.220 --> 03:26.410 You only need to know the real basics of development on a platform like Python or node JS. 38 03:26.450 --> 03:34.410 this course focuses on topics relevant for the developers such as config maps secrets and service 39 03:34.410 --> 03:42.480 accounts multi-container pods readiness and lightness probes logging and monitoring jobs services and 40 03:42.480 --> 03:44.070 networking. 41 03:44.070 --> 03:50.000 This course also helps you prepare for the certified kubernetes application developer exam. 42 03:50.070 --> 03:56.580 All of these courses are filled with coding exercises and quizzes that will help you practice developing 43 03:56.700 --> 03:59.640 and deploying applications on kubernetes. 44 03:59.650 --> 04:03.800 Now remember that there are some topics that overlap between these courses. 45 04:03.810 --> 04:07.230 So we recap and discuss them and when required. 46 04:07.350 --> 04:10.340 Now you don't have to take these courses in order. 47 04:10.530 --> 04:15.630 If you're an administrator you may choose to take the beginners as well as the second course and get 48 04:15.630 --> 04:21.150 yourself certified as a kubernetes administrator or take the beginners course and the developers 49 04:21.150 --> 04:28.020 course to get yourself certified as a Kubernetes application developer which I'd say is the easier 50 04:28.020 --> 04:28.690 of the two. 51 04:28.710 --> 04:33.380 If you were to ask me So if you're ready let's get started.
