Kubernetes is essential for orchestrating containerized applications, yet its architecture and configuration can be overwhelming for newcomers. 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. Finally, you’ll learn how to validate your setup by deploying a sample workload and confirming control plane and worker node functionality. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Kubernetes needed to stand up and manage your own clusters in real-world environments.
