Kubernetes Orchestration
Kubernetes is complex but necessary for enterprise scale. In 5 intensive weeks, go from basic Pods to managing complex Stateful applications, RBAC security, and cluster autoscaling.
Mastered Technologies
You Will Build
Architect and provision a production-ready Kubernetes cluster implementing RBAC, Ingress, Persistent Storage, and GitOps delivery for a microservice fleet.
The 5-Week Syllabus
An intense, week-by-week breakdown designed to push your limits.
Cluster Internals & Core Primitives
Understanding the API server, etcd, and schedulers.
Core Topics
- Pods, Deployments, Services
- Labels & Selectors
- Kubelet internals
Hands-on Lab
Manually bootstrap a local Kubernetes cluster using kubeadm.
Storage & Stateful Applications
Databases inside Kubernetes.
Core Topics
- Persistent Volumes (PV/PVC)
- StatefulSets
- Storage Classes
Hands-on Lab
Deploy a highly available distributed PostgreSQL cluster within K8s.
Advanced Networking & Ingress
Routing traffic from the internet to your containers.
Core Topics
- Ingress Controllers (NGINX)
- Network Policies
- Intro to Service Mesh
Hands-on Lab
Configure strict Network Policies to isolate namespaces and secure pod-to-pod comms.
Package Management & GitOps
Managing K8s yaml without losing your mind.
Core Topics
- Helm Charts
- Kustomize Overlays
- ArgoCD deployments
Hands-on Lab
Transition a manual kubectl deployment strategy into a fully automated ArgoCD GitOps flow.
Security & Scheduling at Scale
Locking down the cluster and optimizing compute.
Core Topics
- RBAC
- Pod Security Admission
- Taints, Tolerations & Affinity
Hands-on Lab
Implement RBAC least privilege and configure node affinity for specialized GPU workloads.
