This one-day instructor-led Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine class 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.
 

Upon completion of the Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine course, students will be able to:

• Understand container basics.
• Containerize an existing application.
• Understand Kubernetes concepts and principles.
• Deploy applications to Kubernetes using the CLI.
• Set up a continuous delivery pipeline using Jenkins

Introduction to Containers and Docker

• Create a container.
• Package a container using Docker.
• Store a container image in Google Container Registry.
• Launch a Docker container.

Kubernetes Basics

• Provision a complete Kubernetes cluster using Kubernetes Engine.
• Deploy and manage Docker containers using kubectl.
• Break an application into microservices using Kubernetes' Deployments and Services.

Deploying to Kubernetes

• Create a Kubernetes deployment.
• Trigger, pause, resume, and rollback updates.
• Understand and build canary deployments.

Creating a Continuous Delivery Pipeline

• Provision Spinnaker or Jenkins in your Kubernetes cluster.
• Manage application code in a source repository that can trigger code changes to a continuous delivery pipeline.
• Create a continuous delivery pipeline and start it manually or automatically with a code change.
• Implement a canary deployment that hosts two versions of your application in production for release testing

• Application developers, Cloud Solutions Architects, DevOps Engineers, IT managers.
• Individuals using Google Cloud Platform to create new solutions or to integrate existing systems, application environments, and infrastructure with the Google Cloud Platform.

No certification available.

• Basic proficiency with command-line tools and Linux operating system environments, as well as Web server
