Kubernetes for Java Developers: Hands‑On Fundamentals

Learn how to deploy Java(Spring Boot) application on Kubernetes cluster

This course includes the use of artificial intelligence. One of its features is a Role Play exercise that lets you practice discussing Kubernetes architecture verbally. It helps you rehearse answering questions and become more confident talking about Kubernetes, which is an important skill during interviews. I encourage you to try the Role Play feature.

This beginner-friendly course teaches how to deploy Java Spring Boot applications on a Kubernetes cluster using both imperative and declarative approaches.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand core Kubernetes concepts including Pods, Nodes, Deployments, and Services

• Set up your local environment using Docker Desktop

• Containerize a Spring Boot microservice and push it to Docker Hub

• Create and manage Kubernetes deployments using kubectl commands

• Understand the difference between imperative and declarative approaches for deploying applications

• Expose your application using Kubernetes Services and test connectivity

• Scale deployments and manage environment variables imperatively

• View application logs and perform rollbacks using Kubernetes rollout commands

You will also learn the core components of Kubernetes architecture including:

• API Server,

• Scheduler,

• Controller Manager,

• etcd,

• and the Worker Node components that run your application workloads.

If you’re a Java developer looking to get hands-on with Kubernetes and understand how to deploy Java(Spring Boot) applications, this course is for you.
