Description

Introduction

This course focuses on leveraging Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform, to automate, scale, and manage data pipelines in a reliable and efficient way. With data environments growing increasingly complex, DataOps practitioners require a robust platform that supports scalability, fault tolerance, and seamless integration of various tools. Kubernetes offers a powerful solution for deploying, managing, and scaling the infrastructure needed to support data workflows, providing significant advantages for data-driven organizations.

This course will guide participants through the process of building scalable and reliable data platforms using Kubernetes, covering essential concepts, tools, and best practices for combining the principles with features. By the end, learners will understand how to use Kubernetes to streamline data operations and improve the performance and reliability of data pipelines.

Prerequisites

Participants should have:

• Basic understanding of DataOps principles and practices.
• Familiarity with data engineering and DevOps concepts.
• Experience with containerization using Docker.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes basics, including pod, service, deployment, and namespaces.
• Understanding of cloud environments and infrastructure management.
• Familiarity with CI/CD workflows and tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or CircleCI.
