About the course

Kubernetes is a powerful tool for running applications using containers. It includes a variety of features to make your applications easier to manage, more reliable, and more secure. In this course, we will focus on the process of designing applications that take advantage of these features. We focus on the twelve-factor application design methodology and explore how Kubernetes can help us implement the best practices outlined in that methodology.

What are Hands-on Labs

What's the difference between theoretical knowledge and real skills? Practical real-world experience. That's where Hands-on Labs come in! Hands-on Labs are guided, interactive experiences that help you learn and practice real-world scenarios in real cloud environments. Hands-on Labs are seamlessly integrated in courses, so you can learn by doing.
