Course Overview
- This intensive course, “Cloud Native Kubernetes with Knative: 1500 Questions,” offers an unparalleled deep dive into leveraging Kubernetes for modern serverless application development through the Knative framework. Designed for practitioners, it focuses on building, deploying, and managing highly scalable, event-driven applications on a Kubernetes foundation. Participants will navigate a vast landscape of challenges and hands-on exercises, guided by an extensive curriculum of 1500 practical questions that simulate real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between raw Kubernetes power and developer-friendly serverless abstractions.
- The curriculum begins by solidifying foundational cloud-native principles and Kubernetes essentials, then progressively introduces Knative Serving. You’ll master deploying stateless microservices, intelligent traffic management, automatic revision tracking, and the revolutionary ability to scale deployments down to zero instances when idle, optimizing resource consumption. Learn to craft services that are not only performant but also incredibly cost-efficient, ready to handle fluctuating loads.
- Subsequently, the course shifts to Knative Eventing, a critical component for constructing resilient and reactive event-driven architectures. This section covers event sources, brokers, and triggers, demonstrating how to integrate services and external systems through a robust, asynchronous messaging backbone. You will gain expertise in building complex workflows where applications react autonomously to events, fostering decoupled and highly scalable systems. The emphasis is on practical application, encouraging learners to troubleshoot, optimize, and innovate solutions through the comprehensive question-based learning model.
- The “1500 Questions” methodology is central to this course’s unique value, providing a rigorous, hands-on, and problem-solving-centric learning experience. Learners are actively engaged in dissecting problems, proposing solutions, implementing them, and verifying outcomes across a spectrum of cloud-native challenges. This immersive approach ensures not just theoretical comprehension but also the development of critical thinking and practical implementation skills essential for navigating modern distributed systems.
Requirements / Prerequisites
- Kubernetes Fundamentals: Solid understanding of core Kubernetes concepts (Pods, Deployments, Services, YAML, `kubectl`) for cluster interaction.
- Containerization Basics: Experience with Docker or similar container technologies, including image building, lifecycles, and registry management.
- Command-Line Proficiency: Comfort and efficiency in using the CLI are required for interacting with Kubernetes and Knative tools.
- Basic Programming: Proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Go, Python, Node.js) for writing and deploying serverless functions and microservices.
- Strong Problem-Solving Aptitude: A keen interest in self-directed learning, debugging, and solving complex technical challenges is paramount for this question-driven format.
- Development Environment: Access to a machine capable of running a local Kubernetes cluster (Minikube/Kind) or a cloud-based environment (GKE, EKS, AKS) for hands-on practice.
