Container Orchestration Ecosystems

Discipline: Cloud & DevOps Engineer | Module: Module 2: Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) & Containers | Estimated Study Time: 34 Hours

Welcome to Container Orchestration Ecosystems. This topic delivers foundational and advanced concepts designed for production engineering and real-world workflows.

Key Learning Objectives

1. Distributed Cluster Architecture (Kubernetes Architecture: Control Plane vs. Worker Nodes)
2. Primitive Workloads (Pods, Deployments, ReplicaSets, StatefulSets, DaemonSets)
3. Networking & Package Controls (Kubernetes Services: ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, Helm Charts)

Detailed Curriculum Breakdown

Distributed Cluster Architecture (Kubernetes Architecture: Control Plane vs. Worker Nodes)
