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.

A Practical Guide to Kubernetes

# Summary

We went through the most important aspects of Services. There are a few other cases we did not explore, but the current knowledge should be more than enough to get you going.

Services are indispensable objects without which communication between Pods would be difficult and volatile. They provide static addresses through which we can access them not only from other Pods but also from outside the cluster. This ability to have fixed entry points is crucial because it provides stability to otherwise dynamic elements of the cluster. Pods come and go, but Services stay.

We are one crucial topic away from having a fully functional, yet still simple, strategy for the deployment and management of our applications. We are yet to explore how to deploy and update our services without downtime.
