Course Description

Overview

  • Module 1: Introduction to Docker containers

    • In this module, you will:

    • Evaluate whether Docker is an appropriate containerization platform for you
    • Describe how the components of Docker containers support compute container implementations
  • Module 2: Get acquainted with the Kubernetes open-source container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management.

    • In this module, you will:

    • Describe how Kubernetes supports container orchestration
    • Describe the difference between control planes and nodes
    • Evaluate whether Kubernetes is an appropriate orchestration platform for a given workload
  • Module 3: Get acquainted with the Azure Kubernetes open-source container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management.

    • In this module, you will:

    • Evaluate whether Azure Kubernetes Service is an appropriate Kubernetes orchestration platform for you
    • Describe how the components of Azure Kubernetes Service work to support compute container orchestration
  • Module 4: Explore how to create and deploy a containerized application by using Azure Kubernetes Service declarative manifest files.

    • By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Create and set up an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
    • Deploy Kubernetes workloads by using deployment YAML files.
    • Expose Kubernetes workloads by using services and ingress.
  • Module 5: Explore strategies that you can use on Azure to optimize your cloud-native application-development process by using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

    • In this module, you will:

    • Optimize costs on AKS by using zero-scaled node pools
    • Optimize costs on AKS by using autoscaled spot node pools
    • Manage costs with Azure Policy on AKS
  • Module 6: Helm is an application package manager for Kubernetes that you use to standardize and simplify the deployment of cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. Here you'll see how to install third-party packages called Helm charts and how to create and install Helm charts for the workloads your teams develop.

    • In this module, you will:

    • Describe the benefits of using HELM as a Kubernetes package manager
    • Create a HELM chart for a cloud-native application
    • Manage a cloud-native application release using Helm
