Kubernetes automates container management. The process of container orchestration is so complex that trying to manage containers by hand has become impossible. There are many, components to container orchestration, but one of the most misunderstood is networking. In this 1-hour webinar we’ll explore how k8s actually performs IP networking and service discovery, two of the most critical components for successfully delivering microservices. We’ll examine how kubernetes carries the burden of cloud networking and lastly what it takes to pass the CKAD/CKA Certifications.
