Description
Kubernetes for Linux System Administrators is designed to help Linux admins move from traditional server environments to modern container orchestration. The course connects Kubernetes concepts with familiar Linux administration ideas so learners can understand the technology clearly and apply it in real environments.
You will learn what Kubernetes is, why Docker alone is not enough, how Kubernetes compares with traditional Linux servers and systemd services, and how control plane nodes, worker nodes, etcd, the API server, scheduler, kubelet, and kube-proxy work together.
The course includes Minikube lab setup, kubeadm production-style setup, Pods, Deployments, ReplicaSets, scaling, rolling updates, rollbacks, health checks, resource limits, networking, services, persistent storage, ConfigMaps, Secrets, RBAC, ServiceAccounts, troubleshooting, container images, Podman, Docker Hub, and a final real-world website deployment project.
What topics are covered?
- βKubernetes basics, Kubernetes vs Docker, Kubernetes vs traditional Linux servers, and Kubernetes terminology mapped to Linux concepts
- βArchitecture including control plane, worker nodes, etcd, API server, scheduler, kubelet, kube-proxy, and YAML basics
- βLab setup using Linux prerequisites, virtualization, CentOS, Docker, Minikube, kubectl, kubeconfig, and cluster verification
