Build A Platform Engineering Environment On Kubernetes

k8s For Platforms
What you'll learn:
Everything there is to know about Platform Engineering
Kubernetes for Platform Engineering
Capabilities like ArgoCD and the cloud
Programming for Platform Engineering
Requirements:
Students should have a background in infrastructure/systems and programming
Description:
Kubernetes is one of the primary ways you can implement Platform Engineering.As you build a platform for engineers/developers who have requested to use it, you'll have a few different options to do so. It'll require several pieces. Just to list a few out:An APIA CLIA method of deploying resourcesA method to deploy clustersManagement and deployment of containersIaC tools like TerraformDeploying and managing VMsAlthough that seems like a lot, it's the common "stack" for what's used in many environments today.With that list alone, you're looking at roughly 6-8 different tools and an entirely different platform just to run VMs if you also have containers to deploy. That's multiple tools, a full virtualized environment (ESXi, Hyper-V, etc.), and a container solution.Using Kubernetes, you can have all methods in one place.With tools/methods like Operators, Kubevirt, Cluster API, and Crossplane, Kubernetes can be THEE underlying platform of choice.Think about it - you can do everything from creating VM's to deploying resources outside of Kubernetes and managing all of it in a declarative fashion.In this 3-part course, you will learn about:1. How to build a Kubernetes cluster as an underlying platform.2. How to implement platform capabilities.3. How to interact with the platform
Who this course is for:
Mid-level to senior-level engineers
