Kubernetes Hands-On - Deploy Microservices to the AWS Cloud

Now in its 8th edition for 2025. (Note: This course requires you to download Docker Desktop. If you are a Udemy Business user, please check with your employer before downloading software.

Any recent Kubernetes installation will be suitable, but Docker Desktop is recommended). Kubernetes is one of the hottest topics right now, and engineers with Kubernetes skills are in big demand. Get those skills with this course.

It's is a great chance to work on a real Kubernetes project, and to get yourself to a high professional standard on real projects. All the way through the course you'll be working on realistic requirements - but you don't need to be a coder or know any particular programming language - I've prepared for you a set of Docker images, and your job is to use Kubernetes to get these images running. The system is a Microservice-based architecture, and along the way, we'll look at design decisions and trade-offs you need to make when managing these complex systems.

Note the course isn't about how to design Microservices (although we'll certainly be talking about that); the development work is done and we need to get the system running on a production cluster. We'll also discover that the developers have made some bad mistakes in their code, by analyzing the run time performance of the cluster. You can do the first part of the course on your local development computer (PC/Mac/Laptop).
