Production Kubernetes for DevOps & Cloud Engineers

This course is designed for DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, and IT professionals who want to work with Kubernetes in real-world, production environments rather than just learning theory. Kubernetes is the backbone of modern cloud-native platforms, and organizations expect engineers to understand deployment strategies, networking, security, scaling, and operational workflows. This course focuses on those enterprise-relevant skills that are actively used in professional environments.

You will start by understanding Kubernetes architecture and core objects, followed by hands-on usage of kubectl, YAML-based declarative configurations, namespaces, labels, and API resources. As the course progresses, you will work with Deployments, ReplicaSets, rolling updates, rollbacks, and Kubernetes Services, including ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, and ExternalName. The course covers production deployment strategies such as Blue-Green and Canary deployments, along with Ingress configuration for real-world traffic routing.

You will also learn how to manage application configuration using ConfigMaps and Secrets, and handle storage using Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, dynamic provisioning, and Azure File Share integration. Advanced Kubernetes concepts like StatefulSets, Jobs, CronJobs, DaemonSets, resource limits, probes, autoscaling (HPA), logging, and monitoring are explained with practical examples. Security is treated as a first-class topic, with in-depth coverage of Kubernetes security fundamentals, service accounts, RBAC, and security contexts.

The course also includes Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), where you will create and manage clusters using Azure CLI and Azure Portal, deploy applications, and configure storage. You will apply everything learned in a realistic eCommerce project, reflecting how Kubernetes is used in production environments. By the end of this course, you will have the practical skills required to deploy, operate, and manage containerized applications using Kubernetes in enterprise and cloud environments, making it highly relevant for corporate training and Udemy Business learners.
