Video description

6+ Hours of Video Instruction

Learn the most efficient way to manage and run Microservices in Kubernetes and Istio.

Overview

Microservices are the new development model for running complex applications. Building and Managing Microservices with Kubernetes and Istio LiveLessons will cover the topics you will need to run successful Microservices in Kubernetes and Istio.

Building and Managing Microservices with Kubernetes and Istio LiveLessons starts with an overview of Microservices and why it is the right choice to run complex applications. The course will then discuss how to automatically implement Microservices using Kubernetes, a procedure that starts with source files in Git, before exploring topics of container images and how to build them efficiently. Lastly, it will also cover how to apply decoupling in Kubernetes for full implementation of automated and orchestrated Microservice environment.

Instructor Sander van Vugt uses hands-on-labs to give you a deeper understanding of the topics covered in the course.
