This free course is developed by Jami Kousa who works at the University of Helsinki. The course has been recommended by a friend who used it to get the knowledge for his Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certificate. It uses k3d for setting up the local Cluster. The Google Cloud Platform also is introduced in the course especially the Google Kubernetes Engine which is used in one part of the course. Kubernetes (K8s) is used to orchestrate containers. The course introduces one to Kubernetes and shows one how networking and storage works. After that in Part 2 one will work with Clusters, StatefulSets and Jobs. Plus there is a chapter about monitoring the cluster. Part 3 looks to be about the Google Kubernetes Engine and building a Deployment Pipeline. Part 4 is newly added and will introduce GitOps. What it is and why it is important will be described in the next chapter. The last part of the course is about the internals of Kubernetes, Custom Resource definitions and Service Meshes. I think that this course will be a great introduction to Kubernetes and a good way to get the hands dirty.
