Description

The only course you'll ever need to pass the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) certification. Period.Kubernetes stands at the forefront of the cloud computing revolution, redefining how applications are deployed and managed across vast digital landscapes. As the gold standard for container orchestration, it seamlessly automates the scaling, placement, and operations of application containers, ensuring optimal efficiency and reliability. With its robust, scalable architecture, Kubernetes empowers organizations to effortlessly handle the complexities of today’s dynamic environments, turning them into agile, innovative powerhouses, proving itself as an indispensable tool in the arsenal of modern IT.The Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) certification validates your expertise in the fundamental concepts and skills necessary to effectively work with Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies. This certification demonstrates your ability to manage containerized applications and services, ensuring you can deploy, monitor, and maintain applications using Kubernetes and related cloud-native tools within a production environment. And this course will help you master all the different pieces to this KCNA puzzle.WELCOME TO THE FIRST AND THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE COURSE DESIGNED TO HELP YOU PASS YOUR KCNA CERTIFICATION!This course provides all the knowledge needed to pass the KCNA certification examThis is a hands-on course – we are going to learn by doingAll course slides available for downloadBeginners are welcome - no prior knowledge of Docker or Kubernetes is necessaryThis course will teach you Docker and Kubernetes from the ground up and provide a detailed overview of all the core features. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of what Kubernetes is, why we use it, and how to use it.This course covers:Linux FundamentalsDocker FundamentalsKubernetes ArchitectureDeep Dive into KubernetesCloud Native ComputingMicroservices and Serverless ComputingObservability with Prometheus and GrafanaDeployment automation with CI/CD and GitOpsTips to ace your KCNA certification examAnd much more!Your Instructor:My name is Riyaz Sayyad, and I’ll be your instructor in this course.
