Abstract: | Embark on an in-depth journey to understand Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) infrastructure and networking with this extensive course. Begin with a solid understanding of Kubernetes and AKS architecture, including setting up clusters, managing Pods, and deploying services. The course then covers scaling, networking plugins, and both public and private cluster configurations to help you build secure and scalable environments. Explore advanced networking concepts like Azure CNI, Kubenet, client IP preservation, egress traffic filtering, and TLS/HTTPS security. Learn to manage Kubernetes DNS, ingress, and egress, while leveraging Azure services such as Blob Storage and Managed NAT Gateway. Hands-on demos throughout the course will enhance your skills and allow you to tackle complex networking and security challenges effectively. As the course progresses, you'll master backup management, network policies, and monitoring with tools like Prometheus and Grafana. By the end, you'll have the skills and confidence to manage an AKS environment, ensuring security, high availability, and cost efficiency for enterprise applications. To access the supplementary materials, scroll down to the 'Resources' section above the 'Course Outline' and click 'Supplemental Content.' This will either initiate a download or redirect you to GitHub. What you will learn Set up and manage AKS clusters with Kubernetes fundamentals.
