Kubernetes and IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service focus on deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications in cloud environments. Kubernetes is an open-source platform that automates container orchestration, including deployment, scaling, and workload management across clusters. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service provides a managed environment that simplifies cluster setup, security, monitoring, and maintenance. This training explains how Kubernetes manages pods, services, and deployments using declarative configurations. It also covers how IBM Cloud enhances Kubernetes with enterprise-grade security and integrated tools. You will learn how both platforms support scalable, reliable, and highly available cloud-native applications. The course also highlights best practices for container management, CI/CD integration, and cloud infrastructure optimization.
