Kubernetes Hands-On - Deploy Microservices to the AWS Cloud

Kubernetes is a highly sought-after skill in today's tech landscape, and this updated 8th edition for 2025 will equip you with the expertise to thrive. This course provides hands-on experience working with a real-world Kubernetes project, helping you achieve a high professional standard.

• Real-World Kubernetes Project: Gain practical skills by deploying Docker images using Kubernetes, working with realistic requirements. No coding experience is necessary – Docker images are provided for you to manage.
• Microservices Architecture: Explore a microservice-based architecture and learn about the design decisions and trade-offs involved in managing complex systems. We'll focus on getting the system running in production.
• Troubleshooting & Performance Analysis: Discover how to analyze runtime performance and identify and correct errors made during code development.
• Local & Cloud Deployment: Begin with local development on your PC, Mac, or laptop. Then, transition to the cloud (from Chapter 13 onwards) using a real AWS account.
• AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS): Learn to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS. We also cover alternative deployment methods using Kops, detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
• Monitoring & Logging: Set up comprehensive monitoring using the ELK/Elastic Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana to gain insights into your Kubernetes cluster's performance.
• Beginner-Friendly: Designed for a wide audience – whether you're a DevOps engineer, developer, or new to the field. Basic computer knowledge and some command-line familiarity are sufficient.

Important Notes:

• Docker Desktop Required: This course requires you to download Docker Desktop. (Udemy Business users: check with your employer before downloading.)
• AWS Account: A free AWS account is needed for the cloud portion of the course. AWS charges for compute resources, but costs are typically minimal (around $10 USD). You are responsible for managing these costs and deleting your cluster after use. Alternatively, you can watch the AWS videos without incurring costs.
• Support: I'm here to answer your questions within 48 hours.
