Overview
A full deep-dive training to learn how to run applications on Kubernetes and pass the CKAD and CKA exams!


More than 24 Hours of Video Instruction

 Description
This master class includes the following courses:
* Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), 2nd Edition
* Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), 2nd Edition


Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) Complete Video Course (Video Training), 2nd Edition provides more than 13 hours of video instruction for IT professionals preparing to take the CKAD exam. Each lesson ends with a hands-on lab so you can test your knowledge. The author teaches using lightboard lectures that pinpoint key topics while also exploring the concepts needed to pass the exam and do the work of a Kubernetes professional. This industry-recognized certification requires an in-depth knowledge of how to develop, create, manage, store, and troubleshoot Kubernetes applications.

Using containers has become the standard for running applications on any platform. Developers today are required to create applications that run on a container, which is managed by the Kubernetes platform. The Certified Kubernetes Application Developer exam prepares the developer for this task. Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) Complete Video Course covers all the core aspects of working with containers in Kubernetes and preparing for the industry standard CKAD exam.

Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Complete Video Course provides 11 hours of video instruction for IT professionals--including IT administrators, DevOps engineers, software developers, IT architects, and hybrid cloud administrators--preparing to take the CKA 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 Sander van Vugt, who has presented on dozens of Linux and Kubernetes courses. He introduces containers and Kubernetes, and moves through the process of creating, managing, and storing applications. He provides labs on setting up and managing clusters, and you'll also learn how to troubleshoot Kubernetes applications and cluster nodes. Sander shows how to manage deployments, services, ingress, and setting up storage, and walks through key troubleshooting scenarios. He ends the course with a sample exam for the user to practice before taking the real thing.


Course Requirements
* One (virtual) machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Rocky Linux 8.x to perform the labs about Podman containers
* A computer running any operating system with at least 16GB RAM to run the CodeReady Containers Virtual Machine
* Students should be able to run a virtual machine that requires 12GB of RAM
