Learn how to use Kubernetes as a Developer from beginning to mastery

Kubernetes (or K8s for short) has categorically won the container orchestration war. When people think of running a system using containers, no technology even comes close to the versatility and popularity of Kubernetes. It is a crucial skill that every developer working in modern software should have mastery over. Dan will teach you what Kubernetes is and how to use it in this massive course, from the basics to some of its most advanced features. This course is tailored towards software engineers or developers with existing knowledge of some programming language but no idea what Kubernetes is or how it works. Don't miss your chance to take this course and learn one of the most requested skills of any job description.
