This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
In this specialization, you will dive into Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), exploring networking, cluster setup, and advanced configurations. By mastering AKS, you'll understand Kubernetes on Azure, from basic clusters to optimizing scalability and security.
The specialization starts with an introduction to AKS architecture and progresses through hands-on sessions on managing pods, creating deployments, and scaling workloads. You will learn to secure and manage network traffic with techniques like Azure Bastion, network isolation, and API management.
You will work with advanced networking features such as Kubernetes DNS, networking plugins, egress traffic management, and ingress routing. You’ll also gain expertise in securing communications within AKS clusters with TLS/HTTPS and managing cluster secrets.
Designed for cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, and IT admins, this specialization helps you manage containerized applications on Azure. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to set up, configure, and manage AKS clusters, secure network communications, scale workloads, monitor resources, and troubleshoot common issues with your Kubernetes environments.
