GCP-GKE - Getting​ ​Started​ ​with Google​ ​Kubernetes​ ​Engine

DURATION
1 day

DESCRIPTION
Learn to containerize workloads in Docker containers, deploy them to Kubernetes clusters provided by Google Kubernetes Engine, and scale those workloads to handle increased traffic. You also learn how to continuously deploy new code in a Kubernetes cluster to provide application updates.

OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, you 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

AUDIENCE
This class is intended for the following participants:
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

PREREQUISITES
To get the most out of this course, participants should have:
Basic proficiency with command-line tools and Linux operating system environments, as well as Web server
Systems Operations experience including deploying and managing applications, either on-premises or in a public cloud environment
