About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Kubernetes helps deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. It abstracts the underlying infrastructure, so it doesn’t matter if you’re deploying your applications to Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Linode, or your own on-premises data center. In this course, you’ll learn why we have Kubernetes, what it is, where it’s going, and how to create containerized applications. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to tackle more advanced concepts and take your Kubernetes skills to the next level.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
