Getting Started with Google Cloud Kubernetes

Last Updated: 08-03-2025

The Getting Started with Google Cloud Kubernetes course is designed to provide beginners with a comprehensive introduction to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Kubernetes for container orchestration on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core concepts of Kubernetes, including how to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using GKE. You'll get practical experience with creating Kubernetes clusters, managing pods, services, and deployments, and monitoring your Kubernetes applications. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and confidence to work with Kubernetes on Google Cloud, enabling you to efficiently run and scale containerized applications in a cloud-native environment.

Course Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services.
  • Familiarity with containers (e.g., Docker) and how containerized applications work.
  • Some experience with basic Linux commands and the command-line interface (CLI).
  • Prior Kubernetes knowledge is not required, but a basic understanding of containerization will be helpful.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the Getting Started with Google Cloud Kubernetes course, you will be able to:

  1. Understand the core concepts of Kubernetes, such as pods, services, deployments, and namespaces.
  2. Set up and manage Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters on Google Cloud.
  3. Deploy containerized applications to Kubernetes using kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool.
  4. Scale applications up and down in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) using Horizontal Pod Autoscaling.
  5. Configure Kubernetes Services to expose applications running inside the cluster to the outside world.
  6. Implement basic Kubernetes security features, including RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and Pod Security Policies.
  7. Monitor and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters and containerized applications using Google Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging.
  8. Understand Kubernetes networking and how containers communicate within the cluster and externally.
  9. Integrate GKE with other Google Cloud services, such as Cloud Storage, Cloud Pub/Sub, and Cloud Load Balancing.
  10. Prepare for working with Kubernetes in real-world production environments, optimizing workloads for scaling and performance.
