What You Will Learn

This course introduces the core concepts of DevOps with a primary focus on Kubernetes, while also covering the supporting tools and technologies commonly used in modern software development and deployment. The lessons follow a structured approach, beginning with the fundamentals before progressing to container orchestration and deployment workflows.

Throughout the course, students will learn:

• The fundamentals of DevOps and its role in software development and system operations.

• Core Linux concepts, including file management, user permissions, shell commands, and process management.

• Introduction to version control and the DevOps workflow used in software projects.

• Jenkins fundamentals, including continuous integration (CI), build automation, and pipeline creation.

• Amazon Web Services (AWS) concepts relevant to deploying and managing cloud-based applications.

• Kubernetes architecture, including clusters, nodes, pods, deployments, services, namespaces, and ReplicaSets.

• Techniques for deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications using Kubernetes.

• Configuration management using YAML files for Kubernetes resources.

• Methods for monitoring application deployments, performing updates, and troubleshooting common deployment issues.

• Integration of Kubernetes with Jenkins and cloud platforms to understand modern DevOps workflows.

The course begins with the foundational concepts of DevOps and Linux before introducing automation and cloud technologies. It then progresses to Kubernetes, where students learn how to deploy, manage, and maintain containerized applications through practical examples and structured exercises. Each lesson builds on previously covered topics to provide a clear understanding of DevOps tools, workflows, and container orchestration.
