Automating Kubernetes with GitOps (Video Training)

Description

9+ Hours of Video Instruction

Over 9 Hours of Video Instruction Demonstrating How To Use GitOps To Manage Cloud Native Applications

Overview:

Automating Kubernetes with GitOps is designed to teach you the key concepts on how to automate infrastructure using Gitops. It introduces core topics of DevOps, pipelines and Git and shows how to build images from code in an automated way. You will build on your knowledge of automating infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible and proceed with how to use GitOps operators in a Kubernetes environment and build a custom operator. Finally, you will also learn how to use operators provided by ecosystems, such as Tekton and Argo CD.

Best-selling author and trainer Sander van Vugt uses real-world scenarios and demos throughout so you can see in real time how to use GitOps efficiently and effectively to manage Cloud Native applications.

Topics Include:

• Understanding the Fundamentals teaches the fundamentals by covering DevOps, GitOps and how to work with pipelines.
• From Code to Image teaches how to code from image and goes deeper on creating container images based on the code that you have in Git.
• Automating Infrastructure is about infrastructure automation. It covers how to use infrastructure as code, using Terraform, and about configuration as code, using Ansible.
• From Image to Application is about GitOps and how to advance from running container images to running applications in Kubernetes, accompanied by a short introduction to running applications in Kubernetes.
• Using Kubernetes Ecosystem Solutions covers GitOps solutions that come from the Kubernetes ecosystem including observability, tekton pipelines, and automated code updates.

Skill Level:

• Intermediate
