Dive Into Kubernetes – Containers, Docker, and Kubernetes
Course Overview
Step into the world of modern DevOps with Dive Into Kubernetes – Containers, Docker, and Kubernetes. This hands-on course takes you from foundational container concepts to a deep architectural understanding of Kubernetes. Whether you’re new to containers or looking to sharpen your cloud-native expertise, this course provides the practical knowledge and technical insight needed to confidently manage containerized environments.
 
You’ll start by exploring the evolution of containers and how Docker revolutionized application deployment and CI/CD workflows. From there, you’ll learn how container runtimes like Containerd and Runc replaced DockerShim, why this shift matters, and how to set up your environment for production-grade performance.
 
Once your container foundation is solid, you’ll move into Kubernetes architecture—learning how to install and configure clusters using Kubeadm, manage networking through CNI plugins, and deploy workloads using YAML manifests. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on with Pods, Deployments, ReplicaSets, and Services, while uncovering the often-overlooked “Pause Container” and how it helps Kubernetes orchestrate efficiently.
 
The course culminates with a deep dive into Kubernetes internals, including the Kubelet, ETCD, Kube-API Server, Controller Manager, Scheduler, Kube-Proxy, CoreDNS, and Kube-DNS. You’ll learn to deconstruct and rebuild clusters component by component—gaining the kind of mastery that sets true DevOps professionals apart.
