This repository is your one-stop resource for mastering Kubernetes, the industry-standard tool for managing containerized applications. Explore the various sections to learn about core concepts, best practices, and hands-on labs that will help you confidently orchestrate cloud-native applications.
If you're new to Kubernetes, start with the "Getting Started" section. Learn about Kubernetes basics, setting up your environment, and deploying a local cluster for experimentation.
Deepen your understanding of Kubernetes' core components by diving into the "Core Concepts" section. From Pods and Services to Deployments and StatefulSets, you'll gain a strong foundation in Kubernetes fundamentals.
Discover Kubernetes networking essentials in the "Networking" section. Learn how to configure service discovery, enforce network policies, and manage ingress controllers for seamless communication between your applications.
Explore storage solutions for Kubernetes in the "Storage" section. Understand how to manage persistent volumes, volume claims, and storage classes for your containerized applications.
Effectively configure your Kubernetes applications with insights from the "Configuration" section. Master ConfigMaps, Secrets, and best practices for managing application settings.
Prioritize the security of your Kubernetes environments with guidance from the "Security" section. Learn about Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), network policies, secrets management, and container security practices.
Ensure your applications are running smoothly with the "Monitoring and Logging" section. Set up monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana, implement the ELK stack for logging, and gain insights into application health.
Efficiently scale your applications using horizontal and vertical pod autoscaling. Dive into the "Scaling and Autoscaling" section to optimize resource usage and meet application demands.
Learn various deployment strategies, from rolling updates to canary deployments, in the "Deployment Strategies" section. Make informed decisions about deploying and updating your applications.
For those seeking deeper knowledge, the "Advanced Topics" section covers topics like custom resource definitions, operator patterns, advanced networking, and more.
Navigate common challenges with Kubernetes using insights from the "Troubleshooting" section. Find solutions to common issues, troubleshoot pod crashes, diagnose networking problems, and optimize performance.
Put theory into practice with our hands-on labs in the "Hands-on Labs" section. Work through practical scenarios, deploy applications, and gain real-world experience in a Kubernetes environment.
