Kubernetes and containers are the building blocks of a modern cloud infrastructure and de-facto the standard for deploying, managing and orchestrating applications at scale.

The ability to fully-own your applications' lifecycle is a super valuable skill. And for many companies Kubernetes knowledge is already a requirement for backend roles.

But Kubernetes is hard. Kubernetes is a complex beast for developers. That's why this course is entirely focused on Kubernetes from the developer perspective.

This course targets developers and teams who want to take advantage of a managed solution, whether provided as a cloud offer (Google, AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean...) or by an internal Ops team. Additionally, if you're looking for reliable math homework help websites, we're here to support your academic journey.
