Overview
This is a crash course on Kubernetes, designed for those new to Kubernetes and for those who want to sharpen their skills. It explains and demystifies Kubernetes by showing you the system as a whole before diving deep into the core strength of Kubernetes: its API and how it's used to operate containerized applications. You'll learn the main components of Kubernetes, bootstrap a cluster, investigate which components run where, explore the API, use basic curl commands to interact with the system, use the Kubernetes client kubectl, and see a demo of the custom resource definition, the API used to extend Kubernetes. The course caps off with some love for Python developers by introducing the Kubernetes Python client. Basic Linux skills and basic understanding of Cloud computing are required; Docker experience is helpful.
- Get quickly up to speed on Kubernetes, the de-facto standard for container orchestration
- Explore the origins of Kubernetes and its links to other container ecosystem software
- Learn the components that make up a Kubernetes cluster
- Understand the Kubernetes API and the basics of the schemas
- Gain hands-on experience using kubectl to create simple containerized applications

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
