Machine Learning Engineer
Running Kubernetes in production presents specific challenges—from security and scalability to monitoring and cost control. In this course, you’ll gain a hands-on overview of what are known as Day 2 operations.
Through a step-by-step example project, you’ll learn how to efficiently tackle key tasks in a production Kubernetes environment. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to a selection of relevant CNCF.io projects that support secure, high-performance, and sustainable cluster operations.
The course content is organized around five typical layers of Kubernetes operations:
- KTLO (Keep the Lights On)
- Security
- Change
- Optimization
- Housekeeping
Tools and projects discussed in the course:
- Development: Skaffold
- Setup & operation: cert-manager, Harbor
- Operator Patterns: Examples from frp (Fast Reverse Proxy), IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), etc.
- Security & Traffic: Istio, Zipkin, Kyverno
- Monitoring & logging: Prometheus, Alertmanager, Fluentd
- Serving & Eventing: Knative, CloudEvents
- Storage & databases: Longhorn, Vitess, CloudNativePG
- Multi-cluster & network: Cilium, eBPF
Requirements:
A prerequisite is prior completion of a Kubernetes course. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of working with Kubernetes clusters and container technologies.
Additional info:
The tools used are based on CNCF.io projects, and the content is updated on an ongoing basis.
- You understand the challenges and tasks involved in Kubernetes Day-2 operations
- You will gain the ability to perform a structured analysis of operational aspects in Kubernetes
- You are familiar with key CNCF.io projects designed to address common operational challenges
- You will apply the tools to real-world scenarios using a comprehensive case study
- You will develop a tool stack for production Kubernetes environments
The course is designed to be interactive, featuring short presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises using a sample project. You will learn about typical operational requirements and apply selected tools directly in a lab environment.
This course is designed for DevOps engineers, system administrators,developers also known as Site Reliability Engineers), and platform and infrastructure managers who are already familiar with Kubernetes and want to focus on production operations.
