Kubernetes is a powerful tool. It can help you manage complex applications and provide you with the ability to easily automate tasks involved in managing them. In this course, we will start exploring Kubernetes from a beginner's standpoint. We will discuss what Kubernetes is and what it does, and we will work with some of the basic functionality of Kubernetes hands-on. We will build a simple Kubernetes cluster. We will also deploy a sample microservice application to the cluster in order to explore how Kubernetes can help easily manage such applications.

A Practical Guide to Kubernetes

# Congratulations
We congratulate you on the successful completion of this extensive Kubernetes course. Now is the time that you can call yourself a Kubernetes ninja.

# Destruction Mode
There's nothing left to do but to destroy what we did so far.

This time, we cannot just delete the cluster. Such an action would leave the EBS volumes running. So, we need to remove them first.

We could remove EBS volumes through AWS CLI. However, there is an easier way. If we delete all the claims to EBS volumes, they will be deleted as well since our PersistentVolumes are created with the reclaim policy set to `Delete`. EBS volumes are created when needed and destroyed when not.

Since all our claims are in the `jenkins` Namespace, removing it is the easiest way to delete them all.

This lesson serves as an ending note for this course.

What's Next?

Congratulations
