Advanced Kubernetes application deployment

Extend your team's application packaging and deployment skills using cloud native tooling. This training module will teach your team how to enhance a container-based application with cloud native tooling.

The team will learn to package the application with Helm charts, monitor it with Prometheus and Grafana, and autoscale it using both built-in and custom metrics. As part of the exercises, they will learn how to deploy the Prometheus/Grafana monitoring stack.

After completing this training module, your team will be able to:

• Package containerized applications using parameterized Helm charts to ease customization and reuse
• Deploy a Kubernetes monitoring solution based on Prometheus and Grafana
• Create dashboards to monitor application health and performance
• Autoscale an application using built-in and custom metrics
• Proactively protect your workloads against disruptions with Pod distribution budgets, prioritization, and QoS

Prerequisites

• Good knowledge of Kubernetes and Docker.
• Recommended: Combining this course with a one-day training on Kubernetes fundamentals. It’s always a good idea to review your basics.
