Kubernetes Administrator: Scaling & Managing Resources

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Kubernetes provides the capability to dynamically scale deployments in order to scale the number of Pods in a deployment up or down and add resiliency using various commands and tools. In this course you’ll recognize what a DaemonSet is, the patterns for communicating with the Pods in a DaemonSet, the role of Kubernetes Garbage Collector, and the resource types and resource units used in Kubernetes. You’ll review the commands used to manage Kubernetes objects, and the features of tools used for templating YAML in Kubernetes.Next, you’ll create a deployment and scale the deployment, scale StatefulSets and make in-place updates, and create a defined Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and DaemonSet. Moving on, you’ll create jobs and list all the Pods that belong to the jobs. You'll see how to deploy a replicated topology with a StatefulSet controller, simulate Pod and Node downtime, and implement a case study of cascading deletion and managing orphans dependents. Finally, you’ll use the Kustomize tool to demonstrate the composition of deployment and service resources and install Helm and Service Catalog in Kubernetes clusters. 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.
