Serverless Architectures with Kubernetes
Course Description
With this course, you’ll get familiar with the Kubernetes serverless frameworks and develop the skill to create serverless applications. You’ll build out example applications and tackle intellectually stimulating programming challenges that will help prepare you for technical screenings and large, complex engineering problems.
Overview
Kubernetes has established itself as the standard platform for container management, orchestration, and deployment. By learning Kubernetes, you’ll be able to design your own serverless architecture by implementing the function-as-a-service (FaaS) model.
After an accelerated, hands-on overview of the serverless architecture and various Kubernetes concepts, you’ll cover a wide range of real-world development challenges faced by real-world developers and explore various techniques to overcome them. You’ll learn how to create production-ready Kubernetes clusters and run serverless applications on them. You'll see how Kubernetes platforms and serverless frameworks such as Kubeless, Apache OpenWhisk, and OpenFaaS provide the tooling to help you develop serverless applications on Kubernetes. You'll also learn ways to select the appropriate framework for your upcoming project.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to design your own serverless applications using the power and flexibility of Kubernetes.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Deploy a Kubernetes cluster locally with Minikube
- Get familiar with AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions
- Create, build, and deploy a webpage generated by the serverless functions in the cloud
- Create a Kubernetes cluster running on the virtual kubelet hardware abstraction
- Create, test, troubleshoot, and delete an OpenFaaS function
- Create a sample Slackbot with Apache OpenWhisk actions
Course Length
3 days
Scope
This course leads you through by example with engaging projects that have a direct correlation to how serverless developers work in the real-world with Kubernetes clusters. You’ll build out example applications and tackle programming challenges that’ll prepare you for large, complex engineering problems. Each component is designed to engage and stimulate you so that you can retain and apply what you learn in a practical context with maximum impact. By completing the course, you’ll walk away feeling capable of tackling any real-world serverless Kubernetes applications development.
Target Audience
This course is for software developers and DevOps engineers who have basic or intermediate knowledge about Kubernetes and want to learn how to create serverless applications that run on Kubernetes. Those who want to design and create serverless applications running on the cloud, or on-premise Kubernetes clusters will also find this course useful.
