Course introduction

1. Course introduction

Imagine effortless scaling, reliability, and streamlined development for cloud-native applications. That's the power of architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine—or GKE. But powerful tools like GKE manage a vast array of interactions and configurations. How can you harness its power? That’s where this course, “Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine” comes in. Getting the most out of Kubernetes means understanding its architecture and best practices. We’re here to introduce you to the tools to design robust, scalable, and secure applications using GKE. Through a combination of videos, quizzes, and hands-on labs, you’ll get comfortable with GKE architecture and practice building your own containerized applications. You’ll begin with an introduction to Workloads, Deployments, and Jobs, then move on to learn about GKE networking, followed by persistent data and storage. You’ll then explore access control and security, logging and monitoring, and Google Cloud managed storage services. Finally, before wrapping up, you’ll learn how to use CI/CD with GKE. This course was designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud architects with basic to intermediate knowledge of GKE. Oh, and if you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to complete the Getting Started with GKE course before starting this one. Okay, let’s begin.
