Linux+ Automation: Provision and Manage Containers and Pods with Terraform and Kubernetes

Challenge

Get Started in the Lab Environment

Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

Challenge

Manage Docker Containers

You will delve into the fundamentals of container management by exploring Docker, a leading containerization platform. Through hands-on activities and guided tutorials, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of Docker's core concepts and functionalities

Challenge

Use Terraform for Infrastructure Consistency

You will learn how to ensure consistent infrastructure deployment, a crucial aspect of fostering a DevOps culture. Utilizing Terraform, a popular infrastructure as code tool (IaC), you will describe and provision the necessary infrastructure for container deployment. Through step-by-step guidance and practical demonstrations, you will gain hands-on experience in defining infrastructure components such as networks, servers, and storage resources using Terraform's declarative language.

Challenge

Implement Infrastructure Scaling Using Kubernetes

You will explore Kubernetes, a powerful container management system renowned for enabling scalability and redundancy in containerized environments. Specifically, you will focus on deploying containers within Kubernetes Pods using MicroK8s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution ideal for learning and experimentation purposes. You will gain practical experience in setting up a Kubernetes cluster, creating pods, and deploying containers within them.
