Overview

This course walks through deploying Kubernetes to AWS using kops and Terraform, two tools that together make infrastructure setup for Kubernetes considerably more manageable. Terraform keeps your infrastructure in an immutable, cloud-provider-independent state, while kops handles the Kubernetes cluster deployment itself.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the course, NGINX is used as the running example, since web servers are something nearly every business depends on. You'll see how to deploy and scale a dockerized, open-source web server on Kubernetes, applicable to any cloud provider.

Who It's For

Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Kubernetes and Docker, particularly those considering a DevOps career path. The course assumes an interest in container orchestration and infrastructure-as-code concepts.

Since Kubernetes has become one of the most widely adopted orchestration platforms across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, and pairs naturally with microservice architectures, the skills covered here apply broadly across modern cloud infrastructure work, not just a single provider's ecosystem.

About this course

Kubernetes as the orchestration platform for not only Docker containers is gaining more momentum everyday especially in DevOps like world. Besides other main orchestration systems Kubernetes can be considered as one of the most popular one. All big cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure have already more or less adopted Kubernetes as a part of their portfolio and services. Kubernetes and Docker containers altogether create an ideal ecosystem for deploying micro services - which seems to be the model for next generation applications.

When thinking about containers and horizontally scalable applications we might be taking into account also some other other software such as Terraform which helps us tremendously to keep our infrastructure (independent of cloud provider) in immutable state. There are some officially supported tools like "kops" which hand in hand with Terraform makes the Kuberentes deployment to AWS extraordinary easy and comprehensive and makes DevOps people lives super easy.

The main goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive explanation to the people who are truly willing to deep dive in Kubernetes and Docker world and perhaps aspiring for DevOps carrier. In order to achieve this goal I have decided to use NGINX web server examples throughout this course - just because year back I was amazed by value which is delivered by web server itself. Imagine that every business in the world is serving their content via some kind of this powerful piece of software. Nowadays, we can take an advantage of deploying and scaling of docerized mainly Open Source web servers to Kubernetes at any cloud provider you can think of.

I hope you guys are going to enjoy this course and I am certain that anybody is more than good enough to complete this course. Crossed fingers and which you the best!
