Skills you'll gain

Specialization - 3 course series

Throughout this specialization, learners will test their newfound knowledge within the three courses using a series of ungraded lesson quizzes, interactive activities, discussion groups with peers, graded module exams, and a final exam for each course.

This course will build upon the foundational knowledge obtained in the introductory course. It will guide learners through advanced security measures, assist in gaining expertise in cluster monitoring, and will help them to master techniques for seamless scalability. After completing this course, you should be able to: - Explain the role of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Kubernetes security - Identify the importance of network policies in cluster security - Evaluate the effectiveness of RBAC and network policies in various scenarios - Identify key metrics and indicators for monitoring Kubernetes clusters - Compare and contrast popular monitoring tools for Kubernetes - Analyze monitoring data to detect and troubleshoot issues in the cluster - Explain the importance of resource quotas in managing cluster resources - Describe resource quotas for efficient resource allocation - Summarize the role of auto-scaling in managing cluster scalability

After completing this course, you should be able to: - Describe the importance of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) in Kubernetes environments - Explain the role of Kubernetes in CI/CD pipelines - Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes applications - Evaluate the effectiveness of CI/CD pipelines in streamlining development workflows - Explain the importance and benefits of Helm in Kubernetes package management - Identify the components and architecture of Helm - Create and manage Helm charts for Kubernetes applications - Analyze and optimize the deployment of applications using Helm - Explore the role and benefits of Kubernetes Operators and custom controllers - Design and implement custom controllers and Operators for Kubernetes applications - Explain the GitOps workflow and its benefits in Kubernetes environments - Integrate GitOps workflows in Kubernetes cluster management
