Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) Complete Video Course provides more than 9 hours of video instruction for IT professionals–including IT Administrators, DevOps Engineers, Software Developers, IT Architects, and Hybrid Cloud Administrators–preparing to take the CKAD exam, which requires an in-depth knowledge of how to develop, create, manage, store, and troubleshoot Kubernetes applications.
The course includes labs, demonstrations, and lightboard explanations by best-selling author and presenter Sander van Vugt. This course first provides a full introduction to containers and Kubernetes; it then moves through the process of creating, managing, and storing applications. The title provides labs for working with the API using curl, as well as using NameSpace and managing pods. You will also learn how to manage deployments, services, ingress, and setting up storage; and you will get a full walkthrough of key troubleshooting scenarios. The course ends with a sample exam so you can practice before taking the real test.
Topics include:
Module 1: Getting Started
Module 2: Kubernetes Essentials
Module 3: Building and Exposing Scalable Applications
Module 4: Sample Exams
