Kubernetes on Azure Fundamentals
Learn how to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on Azure with this comprehensive certification course. Master the principles of Kubernetes orchestration, including compute, storage, networking, and security, and develop the skills needed to run and maintain cloud-native applications in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environment.
What You Will Learn
Infrastructure Automation & Management
Simplify infrastructure management by deploying Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters that automatically handle scaling, load balancing, and networking. Eliminate the need to manage virtual machines, networks, and other resources manually, enabling a faster deployment process.
Application Deployment & Monitoring
Gain hands-on experience in deploying and managing applications on AKS. Learn how to monitor the health and performance of your Kubernetes clusters, ensuring efficient operations and high availability. Implement monitoring solutions that detect inefficiencies and enable real-time insights into your applications.
Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
Master the fundamentals of integrating Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with AKS. Learn how to automate application deployments, updates, and scaling using tools like Azure DevOps, enabling faster and more reliable software delivery.
Join the Refactored Community
Connect with like-minded professionals and expand your cloud-native expertise as part of the Refactored community. Engage with peers, share your experiences, and grow your Kubernetes and Azure skills in a supportive learning network.
Prerequisites
Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of cloud computing concepts, containers, and general Azure services. Prior experience with Azure or Kubernetes is helpful but not required, making this course suitable for beginners and those new to container orchestration.
Who Should Enroll
IT professionals looking to manage and deploy containerized applications on Azure.
DevOps engineers wanting to learn Kubernetes orchestration in a cloud environment.
System administrators aiming to automate and scale cloud-native workloads.
Software developers interested in containerized application development and deployment.
Course Format
The course includes interactive lectures, hands-on labs, and practice exams. Delivered digitally, it offers a blend of online self-paced learning, real-world demos, and practical exercises focused on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Most students complete the course in 2-3 weeks, depending on their pace.
Certification
Upon successful completion of the course and passing the associated exam, participants will receive a Kubernetes for Azure Fundamentals certification. This certification validates their understanding of Kubernetes concepts and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), demonstrating proficiency in deploying and managing Kubernetes workloads in Azure.
