Richard Chesterwood

In Microservices Kubernetes, seasoned instructor Richard Chesterwood takes you through the process of getting a microservice system running on a production cluster, with the help of visual examples and real-world exercises. You’ll explore pods and replica sets, and you’ll run Kubernetes locally using Minikube, an easy-to-use tool designed for that purpose. You’ll also learn which factors and tradeoffs to consider when making decisions about managing complex microservice systems. You’ll complete the first part of this illuminating liveVideo course on your standalone development computer. Then you’ll move to the cloud where you'll use a real AWS account. Working in a realistic production environment gives you hands-on experience monitoring your system using industry-standard tools such as ELK/Elastic Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana. As you go, you’ll practice priceless Kubernetes skills like container deployment, live cluster monitoring, log analysis, and more!

Because microservices systems can be complex to set up, this course comes with a pre-built application to deploy and run. And don’t worry if you’re not a Microservices guru! Along the way, Richard offers experience-driven insight into the design and implementation of these systems.
