Kubernetes Hands-On Self-Paced Course (Free)

Create a local Kubernetes development environment on Windows and WSL2. In future versions, I’ll add the relevant steps for macOS.

Throughout this self-paced course, you’ll gain hands-on experience with:

• Creating a local Kubernetes cluster with minikube
• Deploying applications in Kubernetes using kubectl and this project’s YAML files
• Serving applications securely via HTTPS with NGINX Ingress Controller (LoadBalancer) and cert-manager
• Managing Kubernetes resources as packages using Helm v3
• Authenticating users with Google as an Identity Provider (IdP), implementing both OAuth2 and OAuth2+OIDC using oauth2-proxy
• Building the containerized web-server application docker-cats and deploying it to the Kubernetes cluster with kubectl rollout
