Kubernetes offers a wide range of application possibilities. However, this also means that developers or architects need a deep know-how in the areas of infrastructure, DNS configuration or event-based architecture.
The following topics will be covered in this course (attendees will learn these topics through a combination of theory and practical applications):

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Installing a Kubernetes cluster using IaC
• Deploying an entire environment using code

Pull Request Deployments

• Creation of a new environment with all dependencies per pull request
• Configuration of a unique URL for the new environment
• Configuration of an ingress controller to automatically create TLS-certificates
• Introduction to the required DNS configuration

Kubernetes Event-driven Architecture (KEDA)

• introduction to Event-driven Architecture
• Configuration of KEDA
• Scale to 0

Debugging microservices in the Kubernetes cluster

Authentication without passwords

• Azure Active Directory Authentication in Kubernetes Cluster Service meshes, such as Istio
• Managing network security, monitoring and configuration of the cluster

Introduction to hybrid cloud technologies

• Azure Arc to connect an on-premises Kubernetes cluster to Azure
• running Azure services, e.g., Azure App Service or Azure SQL Managed Instance in your own on-premises cluster

Goals:

• Participants will get an overview of advanced application areas of Kubernetes and learn how to implement them themselves.
• After this course, you will be able to implement complex use cases in Kubernetes and learn about additional topics on your own.
