Course Overview

Kubernetes powers over 90% of modern container platforms—and VMware is a leading force behind enterprise adoption. This training course is the first step in learning about containers and Kubernetes, and it gives you the fundamental concepts of containers and orchestration. The VMware Kubernetes Fundamentals and Cluster Operations course combines lecture and hands-on labs where these concepts of containers and Kubernetes are presented and put to practice by containerizing and deploying a two-tier application into Kubernetes. You'll learn to build and deploy containerized applications, understand the architecture of Kubernetes, and operate a production-ready Kubernetes cluster.
