Welcome to the Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine course. If you're interested in Kubernetes, a software layer that sits between your applications and your hardware infrastructure, then you’re in the right place! Google Kubernetes Engine brings you Kubernetes as a managed service on Google Cloud.

In this course, each module aims to build on your ability to interact with GKE, and includes hands-on labs for you to experience functionalities first-hand.

In this course, each module aims to build on your ability to interact with GKE, and includes hands-on labs for you to experience functionalities first-hand. In the first module, you'll be introduced to a range of Google Cloud services and features, with a view to helping you choose the right Google Cloud services to create your own cloud solution. You'll learn about creating a container using Cloud Build, and store a container in Container Registry. You'll also compare and contrast the features of Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine, also referred to as GKE. In addition to conceptualizing the Kubernetes architecture, you'll deploy a Kubernetes cluster using GKE, deploy Pods to a GKE cluster, and view and manage Kubernetes objects.

This course equips students to containerize workloads in Docker containers, deploy them to Kubernetes clusters provided by Google Kubernetes Engine, and scale those workloads to handle increased traffic. Students also learn how to continuously deploy new code in a Kubernetes cluster to provide application updates.

This course will teach you how to transparently connect services with Consul, to react to changes in real-time and to provide high availability and reliability!

Create immutable infrastructure without the headaches! This course will teach you how to create images that are reusable, make scaling architecture easy, and run everywhere with Packer.

This course will teach you how to deploy serverless applications using Knative.

This course will teach you everything you need to know to get started with Kubernetes.

Microservices provide many benefits but come with new challenges. This course will teach you how to use the Linkerd service mesh to help you run your services hosted on Kubernetes reliably and securely.

Learn how to build and deploy microservices using Istio and IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. Gain hands-on experience with service meshes, API management, and scalable microservices architectures in the cloud.

Understand the basics of OpenShift, an enterprise Kubernetes platform. Learn how to manage, scale, and deploy applications on OpenShift, and explore how it can improve your development lifecycle and operations in cloud-native environments.

More and more applications, not just microservices, are being deployed through containers. This course will teach you how to get started with OpenShift as your enterprise container orchestrator.
