Learn how to deploy and manage containerized applications on Google Kubernetes
Engine (GKE). Learn how to use other tools on Google Cloud that interact with GKE
deployments. This course features a combination of lectures, demos, and hands-on
labs to help you explore and deploy solution elements—including infrastructure
components like pods, containers, deployments, and services—along with networks
and application services. You'll also learn how to deploy practical solutions,
including security and access management, resource management, and resource
monitoring.
For each lab, Qwiklabs offers a free set of resources for a fixed amount of time and a clean environment with permissions.
