FAQs
Yes, Kubernetes for DevOps is widely adopted to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It provides the orchestration layer needed to manage complex microservices in modern DevOps workflows.
Container orchestration with Kubernetes allows DevOps teams to efficiently manage application lifecycles, automate scaling, reduce downtime, and maintain consistency across development, staging, and production environments.
This course provides a hands-on introduction to Kubernetes for DevOps, including core components like pods, services, deployments, and YAML configuration. Youll learn through practical labs that simulate real-world orchestration scenarios.
Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes, often containing one or more containers. Services expose pods to other parts of the system or the outside world. This course teaches how to configure and manage both.
Yes. Youll write and manage Kubernetes YAML configurations to define pods, deployments, and servicesgiving you the foundational skill needed to automate and control container orchestration.
Yes. Youll learn the principles and hands-on techniques for managing microservices with Kubernetes, including rolling updates, service discovery, and handling fault tolerance across distributed systems.
Yes. All learners who complete the course and its practical exercises will receive a Certificate of Completion that validates their skills and knowledge.
Yes, there are official Kubernetes certification exams offered by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF):
- CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) Focuses on managing and troubleshooting clusters.
- CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer) Covers building and deploying apps on Kubernetes.
- CKS (Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist) Focuses on securing Kubernetes environments (requires CKA first).
