Advanced 5 Steps 5 hours 27 Credits
Kubernetes is the most popular container orchestration system and the Google Kubernetes Engine was designed specifically to support managed Kubernetes deployments in the Google Cloud. In this advanced-level quest, you will get hands-on practice configuring Docker images and containers, and deploying fully-fledged Kubernetes Engine applications. This quest will teach you the practical skills needed for integrating container orchestration into your own workflow.
Prerequisites
It is recommended that students have earned the Badge by completing the hands-on labs in the GCP Essentials Quest before attempting these labs.Quest Outline
Introduction to Docker
