Jump right into Kubernetes development with career-focused lessons and hands-on practice.

DevOps for Developers

Kubernetes is a powerful container management tool that's taking the world by storm. This detailed course will help you master it.

In this course, you'll start with the fundamentals of Kubernetes and what the main components of a cluster look like. You'll then learn how to use those components to build, test, deploy, and upgrade applications, as well as how to achieve state persistence once your application is deployed. You'll also learn how to secure your deployments and manage resources, which are crucial DevOps skills.

By the time you're done, you'll have a firm grasp on what Kubernetes is, as well as the skills to deploy your own clusters and applications with confidence.

# Understanding minikube

minikube supports several virtualization technologies. We'll use VirtualBox throughout the book since it is the only virtualization supported in all operating systems. If you do not have it already, please head to the [Download VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) page and get the version that matches your OS. 

>**Note:** Please keep in mind that for VirtualBox or Hyper-V to work, virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS. Most machines should have it enabled by default.
 
>**Note:** The installation of minikube may take a while.
