Congratulations on reaching the end of this Kubernetes programming course!
Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, and its popularity is rapidly increasing. Kubernetes is loved for its highly extensible design, which allows developers to create customized solutions that meet their specific needs.
Throughout this course, we’ve explored the ins and outs of Kubernetes, including its architecture, frameworks, plugins, and interfaces. By now, you have a solid understanding of the Kubernetes architecture and its wide range of extensibilities. You are equipped with all the tools you need to build your own customized, efficient, and effective Kubernetes clusters to fit your unique business needs.
This final lesson will summarize what we’ve learned and show some tips for continuing your Kubernetes programming journey.
Recap of what we’ve learned
We started by delving into the fundamental concepts of Kubernetes architecture. Kubernetes architecture is based on a client-server model that uses RESTful APIs to interact with the Kubernetes master node. Its key components include the kubectl CLI for user interactivity, etcd for storing Kubernetes cluster state data, kubelet for managing containers, and the kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler ...
