Advanced Kubernetes – Gaining Mastery over your Deployments

In this ½ day course, author and trainer and DevOps Director Brent Laster will take you beyond the basics of Kubernetes to understand the advanced topics you need to know to ensure your success with K8S.

In plain and simple explanations and hands-on labs, you’ll learn about key concepts such as RBAC, admission controllers, affinity, taints and tolerations mean and how to use them. You’ll learn tips to debug your Kubernetes deployments and how to leverage probes to ensure your pods are ready and healthy – and what happens when they aren’t.

Along the way, we’ll give you hands-on experience and time to play with these concepts in a simple minikube environment running on your own virtual machine that you can keep as a reference environment after the course.
