Kubernetes Administrator: Service Management

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Kubernetes classifies services into different types to facilitate restricting services within clusters, expose them on static ports, enable the use of cloud providers’ load balancer and facilitate load balanced and scalable Pods. In this course you’ll investigate the primary modes for finding a Service supported by Kubernetes, the essential components used to implement automation of Service Accounts, the features provided by Service Catalog, the steps for listing Managed Services and Plans of a Service Broker and how to provision a new instance of a Managed Service. Next, you’ll create pods running a NGINX cluster side address space and NGINX replicas, and create a service of types ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer and ExternalName. Finally, you’ll visualize Service Account in the namespace, create additional Service Account objects and retrieve a dump of the Service Account object, modify the default Service Account for a namespace, use Secrets as imagePullSecret and also create, describe, delete and invalidate API tokens for a Service Account. This course is part of a series that aligns with the objectives for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam and can be used to prepare for this exam.
