Handling Microservices with Kubernetes - Barcelona

About the Course: Tackling DevOps Challenges using Kubernetes

During this two-day long course, we will cover the fundamentals needed to understand the open source Kubernetes ecosystem. You'll learn to operate scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed applications while keeping the infrastructure management easy.

During the training, we'll work with a microservices architecture and deploy the dockerized services into a Kubernetes cluster, set up application secrets, use load balancers, rate-limiters, take a look at some popular management tools and apply several design principles and best practices coming with microservices.

Check out our Designing Microservice Architecture courses to know more about the architectural method.

This training is also available as an in-house, on-site opportunity.

In case you have any questions about the agenda or the on-site option, you can reach us at info@risingstack.com
