In this course, Kubernetes Basic Concepts and Configuration, you’ll gain the ability to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters with confidence. First, you’ll explore how Kubernetes works by examining its architecture, scheduling process, and core components like pods, services, and configuration files. Next, you’ll discover how to install and configure a Kubernetes cluster from scratch, including setting up a network plugin for communication between pods.
