High-Availability Scaling with Kubernetes: Web Services

Course Overview

In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to set up Kubernetes clusters and deploy applications to ensure high availability, configure horizontal pod autoscaling to manage traffic spikes and optimise resource utilisation and finally implement and test failure recovery strategies to maintain service uptime and reliability. We will do this by deploying an e-commerce application. By the end of this project, you’ll know how to deploy and manage scalable, high-availability web services with Kubernetes. This project is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone looking to master container orchestration for resilient infrastructure. Some experience with containers, command-line operations, networking, and YAML files is recommended. Learners should understand basic containerization concepts, be comfortable using the command line, have a foundational knowledge of networking, and be able to read and write YAML files. Access to a computer with Minikube or a similar Kubernetes tool and a stable internet connection is required.
