Azure AKS Kubernetes Masterclass guides you through building and managing production-grade Kubernetes clusters on Azure. This course enables you to leverage Azure DevOps for CI/CD and Terraform for infrastructure as code. You'll learn core Kubernetes concepts and Azure services to deploy and manage containerized applications effectively. The primary approach combines hands-on labs with theoretical understanding, focusing on practical implementation.
This course uniquely integrates Azure DevOps and Terraform for comprehensive cluster provisioning and application deployment. It emphasizes practical skills with detailed hands-on exercises. The content covers a wide range of Azure services and Kubernetes concepts, providing a holistic understanding. Emphasis is given to both imperative (kubectl) and declarative (YAML/Terraform) approaches to Kubernetes.
- AKS Cluster Provisioning: Learn to create and manage AKS clusters using Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and Terraform.
- Azure DevOps Integration: Implement CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, and deploying containerized applications to AKS.
- Terraform for Infrastructure as Code: Provision AKS clusters and related resources using Terraform.
- Kubernetes Fundamentals: Gain proficiency in Kubernetes concepts like Pods, Deployments, Services, and Namespaces.
- Azure Services: Utilize Azure Container Registry, Azure DevOps, Azure Monitor, and other key services with AKS.
- Storage Management: Learn to provision and manage storage solutions like Azure Disks, Azure Files, and Azure Containers.
- Security & Networking: Implement authentication, authorization, and network policies within the AKS environment.
The project is a comprehensive curriculum designed for learning and practical application. The content is actively maintained with recent updates to Azure services and Kubernetes. The course includes supplementary materials like Docker images and sample applications, reinforcing the learning process. The course is regularly updated with releases and improved content based on community feedback.
This masterclass is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals looking to deploy and manage containerized applications on Azure Kubernetes Service.
