With the growing need for individuals with knowledge of Kubernetes and Docker containers, now is the perfect time to begin learning about these applications' different features and tools.
Kubernetes and Docker container skills are in-demand skill for engineers, developers, and others in the IT field.
In this hands-on project, you will deploy and manage cloud container applications with Kubernetes by scaling, replicating, and updating versions of your applications.
For optimal learning, you’ll need basic experience with Docker containers and Kubernetes.
You’ll have access to a Cloud-based IDE that has all of the required software, including Kubernetes pre-installed. All you need is a recent version of a modern web browser to complete this project.
