My new course “Configuring and Managing Kubernetes Storage and Scheduling” in now available on Pluralsight here! Check out the trailer here or if you want to dive right in go here! This course offers practical tips from my experiences managing Kubernetes Clusters and workloads for Centino Systems clients.
This course targets IT professionals that design and maintain Kubernetes and container based solutions.The course can be used by both the IT pro learning new skills and the system administrator or developer preparing for using Kubernetes both on premises and in the Cloud and is the fourth course in my Kubernetes Administration Learning Path.
Let’s take your Kubernetes administration and configuration skills to the next level and get you started now!
The modules of the course are:
- Configuring and Managing Storage in Kubernetes – In this module, we will introduce the need for persistent storage in container based applications and then introduce Kubernetes storage objects that provide those services. We’ll dive into the storage lifecycle and how Pods use Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims to consume storage. We’ll look closely at the types of PVs available and controlling access to PVs with access modes. Once we have the fundamentals down we will learn how to use both Static and Dynamic Provisioning to map Pods to their underlying storage.
- Configuration as Data – Environment Variables, Secrets and ConfigMaps – In this demo-heavy module, we’ll look at how to configure Pods using environment variables, secrets and ConfigMaps. We’ll begin with Pod configuration using environment variables and learn how to leverage secrets to securely configure Pod/container based application. Next we’ll see how we can use ConfigMaps to decouple application and Pod configurations in our Pods.
- Managing and Controlling the Kubernetes Scheduler – In this module we’ll learn, In Kubernetes the Scheduler has the responsibility of sheduling Pods to worker Nodes in the Cluster. In this module, we will learn how scheduling works and how we can influence the scheduler to help meet application requirements. We will learn how to place Pods on specific nodes (or subsets of nodes) in the cluster,
