Who is it for?
This course is designed for:
– Software developers who want to deploy cloud-native applications using GitHub- based workflows and GitOps practices.
– Quality assurance engineers aiming to set up continuous delivery pipelines and implement
canary analysis, A/B testing, etc., on Kubernetes.
– Site reliability engineers interested in automating deployment workflows, setting up multi-tenant,
multi-cluster GitOps-based continuous delivery, and integrating with existing CI and monitoring setups.
– Anyone seeking to understand GitOps and learn how to select and implement the right tools.
Prerequisites
– Proficiency in Kubernetes concepts (pods, ReplicaSets, deployments, services, namespaces, kubectl and YAML specs, CRDs, controllers/operators), Helm, and Kustomize.
– Strong command over git (branching, merging, remotes, pull requests, branching models, protected branches, code reviews).
– Basic understanding of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery practices (building pipelines, setting up automated builds, tests, building artifacts and images, etc.).
Lab Info
Access to a Linux server or desktop/laptop is required. Additionally, access to a public cloud provider or VirtualBox is needed. Instructions for setting up your lab are provided in the course. If using GCP or AWS, you may incur charges beyond initial credits.
Explore GitOps principles with Flux CD, mastering Kubernetes deployment automation. Learn Flux v2 setup, manifest automation, and use of Kustomize/Helm for flexible deployments. Dive into monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, Slack, and integrate Flux with Tekton for CI/CD. Deploy advanced release strategies, multi-cluster setups, GitOps with service meshes, and secure workflows.
