Practical Kubernetes Guide: Build, Deploy, and Scale Cloud-Native Applications
 
Master the fundamentals and advanced techniques of Kubernetes with the Practical Kubernetes Guide — your complete roadmap to deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications in modern cloud environments.
 
Course Description
Kubernetes has become the industry standard for orchestrating containerized workloads at scale. This hands-on course takes you from foundational concepts to advanced operational practices, giving you real-world experience in managing resilient and production-ready infrastructure.
 
You’ll start by setting up local Kubernetes clusters using Minikube and Docker Desktop, then progress to deploying full-stack applications on cloud-native clusters. Through practical labs and guided tutorials, you’ll learn how to optimize performance, automate deployments, and troubleshoot complex issues confidently.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to deploy, monitor, and secure applications across distributed systems — preparing you for roles in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Software Development.
