Section 4:  Kubernetes Concepts - Cluster types, Minikube Server, YAML, Pod, Kubelet, Ports

• Kubernetes  Cluster

• Types of Cluster

• All-in-one (Single Node Cluster)

• Single-node, single-master, and multi-worker node clusters.

• Single-Node etcd, multi-Master, and Multi-Worker Node Cluster.

• About Minikube

Section 5: Kubernetes Pod Restart Policy

• Overview of Pod Restart Policies

• Three restart policies: Always, OnFailure & Never

• Lab - Create a pod definition with ‘restartPolicy’ as Always

• Lab - Create a pod definition with ‘restartPolicy’ as OnFailure

• Lab - Change the pod definition a bit to check the working of OnFailure

• Lab - 4. Create a pod definition with ‘restartPolicy’ as Never

Section 6: Labels & Selectors

• Labels & Selectors

• Commands for managing labels & selectors

• Declarative vs. Imperative Kubernetes commands

• Two types Selectors

•   Equality Based

•   Set based

• Practice Lab - Labels & Selectors

• Practice Lab - Assign a label to the running POD

• Practice Lab - Search the pod with equality & set-based

Section 7: Scaling & Replication

• What is ReplicationController?

• Features of RC

• Practice Lab - Create Replicas of POD using RC

• Practice Lab - Recreate the POD, if it crashes, fails, or terminated

• Scale up & scale down the POD as the load increases

• Practice Lab - Scale up & scale down the POD

• What is ReplicaSet?

• Difference between ReplicationController & ReplicaSet

• Practice Lab - Create Replicas of POD using ReplicaSet

• Practice Lab - Use set-based match expressions in RS

Section 8: Deployment & Rollback

• Overview of Deployment and Rollback

• Manifest for a POD with one container using the deployment object.

• Lab: Launch an application with two PODs using the deployment object.

• Lab: Using the deployment object, upgrade an application from version 1 to version 2.

• Lab: Roll back the application to the previous version.

• Lab: Roll back the application to any specific version.

Section 9: Kubernetes Networking

• Overview of Kubernetes Networking
