Course Overview

With over 85% of organizations now running containerized applications in production, Kubernetes is essential for scalable, modern infrastructure. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) brings you Kubernetes as a managed service on Google Cloud, simplifying the process of deploying, scaling, and managing containers.

The Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine course introduces you to the core concepts behind Kubernetes and Google Cloud. You’ll begin with a basic introduction to Google Cloud, then explore an overview of containers and Kubernetes, including architecture, orchestration, and operations. Through guided demos and hands-on practice, you’ll learn to create and manage Google Kubernetes Engine clusters, deploy workloads, and work directly in Cloud Shell and the Google Cloud Console.

Course Objectives

This one-day training provides the essential skills to deploy, manage, and monitor containerized applications using Google Kubernetes Engine. You’ll explore Kubernetes architecture, learn GKE best practices, and gain practical experience using GKE tools.
