Course overview

A Kubernetes course covering cluster architecture, workload objects and day-two operations. Learners run a local cluster and a managed one, deploying stateless and stateful workloads, configuring networking and storage, then handling upgrades, scaling, RBAC and troubleshooting.

The final project deploys a microservice application with Helm, ingress, autoscaling and monitoring.

Who it is for
  • DevOps and platform engineers
  • Developers deploying to Kubernetes
  • System administrators running clusters
  • Engineers preparing for CKA or CKAD
Prerequisites
Docker fundamentals, Linux administration and basic YAML.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
Final project
Microservice Platform on Kubernetes
