About the course

If you’ve ever used Docker containers, you already know that they’re the easiest and most portable way to package and deploy applications for the cloud. So how do you take the next step into production containers with Kubernetes?

There’s a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the complexities of the big K, but thankfully, Google Kubernetes Engine is here to take away all of the hard work and provide production-ready Kubernetes clusters which leaves you to concentrate on the best way to run your applications.

This introductory course will teach you the concepts of Kubernetes, basic building blocks of GKE, and will have you deploying your containers to production in no time.
