1 section14 lectures1h 45m total length
  • Getting started with Docker4:48

    The video demonstrates how to install Docker on Linux and discusses how to install Docker Desktop on Windows and macOS.

  • Installing a development Kubernetes cluster7:05

    This video introduces Kubernetes and demonstrates how to install a local development cluster using kind.

  • Creating Docker containers5:40

    This video demonstrates how Docker images are built and run in containers and covers concepts such as Docker registries and repositories.

  • Creating Kubernetes resources6:00

    This video demonstrates Kubernetes pods, ReplicaSets, and deployments, deploying examples of each.

  • Creating Kubernetes services3:51

    This video demonstrates how to expose pods to network traffic via a service.

  • Getting Octopus Deploy0:04
  • Deploying to Kubernetes with Octopus17:07

    This video introduces many Octopus concepts such as:

    • Environments

    • Certificates

    • Targets

    • Workers

    It then demonstrates how to integrate Octopus with a Kubernetes cluster and perform a deployment.

  • Multi-environment deployments6:03

    This video builds a second Kubernetes cluster for the production environment, adds it to Octopus, and demonstrates how deployments are progressed through multiple environments.

  • Installing a dashboard6:27

    This video shows you how to install helm and then use it to install a dashboard to monitor the cluster.

  • Observing deployment strategies4:47

    Watch in realtime as pods are redeployed with different deployment strategies.

  • Blue/green deployment strategy1:34

    Watch the blue/green deployment strategy, which is a custom strategy orchestrated by Octopus.

  • ConfigMaps and Secrets5:40

    This video introduces you to ConfigMaps and Secrets. It then discusses some common deployment concerns regrading deployment strategies and shared configuration resources.

  • ConfigMaps and Secrets Demo35:55

    This video provides a demo where three separate applications are deployed to a cluster, each configured with either a Secret or a ConfigMap.

Description

This course provides a practical demonstration showing you how to automate Kubernetes deployments with Octopus Deploy. This course is created by one of the lead developers responsible for the Kubernetes integration in Octopus, and highlights many of the unique features that Octopus provides to DevOps teams deploying custom applications to Kubernetes.

This course covers the following topics:

  • The basic concepts of Docker, including images and containers

  • How to install Docker

  • Building and running your first Docker image

  • Installing a local development Kubernetes cluster with kind

  • The basic concepts in Kubernetes, including Pods, Deployments, Services, Ingresses, ConfigMaps, and Secrets

  • Installing Kubernetes tools like kubectl and helm

  • Deployment strategies like rolling, recreate, and blue/green

  • Installing applications with Helm

  • Deploying sample microservice applications

  • Securing deployments with RBAC controls

  • Automating Octopus with dynamic infrastructure scripts

  • Advanced networking with Ingress Controllers

Each concept is introduced with a definition and a high level discussion, and is then accompanied by a video providing a practical example of Octopus Deploy deploying to a real Kubernetes cluster to ensure you can apply the lessons in your own team.

At the end of the course you will know how to automate and support the deployment of real world applications to Kubernetes, which is a critical component of the DevOps lifecycle, and necessary for any modern, high performing DevOps teams building world class software.

Who this course is for:

  • DevOps engineers deploying custom software to Kubernetes
