1 00:00:01,420 --> 00:00:03,070 Welcome back. 2 00:00:03,070 --> 00:00:09,790 I'm super excited to have you here and have the privilege of being your instructor for this amazing 3 00:00:09,790 --> 00:00:10,630 course. 4 00:00:10,630 --> 00:00:18,550 Let's start with an interesting story. A number of learners ask me what in28Minute means and where 5 00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:20,170 it comes from. 6 00:00:20,170 --> 00:00:27,130 I'm a great believer that if you spend 30 minutes every day taking a small step towards your dream, you 7 00:00:27,130 --> 00:00:31,730 will reach the top 5% of whichever career path you choose. 8 00:00:31,780 --> 00:00:36,000 And this belief in continuous learning is what made me choose the name 9 00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:37,870 In28Minutes. 10 00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:44,230 And the fun fact is that I could not afford to buy the domain names in 30 minutes and in 29 minutes 11 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:48,350 and I had to settle for in28Minutes. 12 00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:50,320 Not bad, isn't it? 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,950 I'm a great believer that the best way to learn is by doing. You do not learn to drive by watching Tom 14 00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:59,520 Cruise drive at amazing speeds. 15 00:00:59,530 --> 00:01:02,080 You have to do it yourself to learn. 16 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,480 The same applies to learning programming and learning to develop and deploy applications. 17 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,020 You have to get your hands dirty. 18 00:01:10,060 --> 00:01:11,410 That's how you learn the most 19 00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,200 and that's how we design our courses. 20 00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:19,600 So, what are you going to learn and what are we going to build during this course? During this course, 21 00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:26,620 we will learn all the basic concepts about Kubernetes, by deploying several applications to Kubernetes. 22 00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:29,120 We will start understanding the fundamentals of Kubernetes 23 00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:34,030 by deploying a hello-world-rest-api. 24 00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:39,840 After that, we would move into deploying a web application which uses H2 as a database 25 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,610 and after that, we would actually move on to a web application which talks to a MySQL database. 26 00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:50,280 After that, we would move into the exciting world of microservices. 27 00:01:50,390 --> 00:01:55,960 We'll learn the basics of service discovery and load balancing which is provided by Kubernetes by using 28 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,760 the projects 29 00:01:56,770 --> 00:01:58,700 04 and 05. 30 00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:05,980 After that, we would use the project 06-currency-conversion-microservice-cloud to integrate our microservice 31 00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:12,280 with Spring Cloud and look at all the features that Spring Cloud provides, especially with respect 32 00:02:12,310 --> 00:02:16,750 to load balancing and centralized configuration management. 33 00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:20,890 After that, we move into the world of Google Cloud StackDriver. 34 00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:28,690 We will use projects 07 and 08 to explore Google Cloud StackDriver and explore the different features 35 00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:34,080 related to logging and tracing provided by Google Cloud StackDriver. 36 00:02:34,450 --> 00:02:44,620 And then, we step into the world of Istio, a service mesh, with the projects 09 and 10. With its sidecar 37 00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:45,270 pattern, 38 00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:50,770 Istio provides amazing features on top of your microservices. 39 00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:57,250 It enables a number of release strategies like blue-green deployment, canary deployments, and a wide 40 00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:59,050 variety of stuff. 41 00:02:59,050 --> 00:03:01,550 It also enables distributed tracing. 42 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,410 We will explore distributed tracing using open API with Yega. 43 00:03:06,850 --> 00:03:12,580 As far as I'm concerned, the section on Istio is my favorite section of this course 44 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:20,520 and after that, we would move into Helm where we would automate our Kubernetes deployment using Helm. 45 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,050 So, this is a course where we will explore Kubernetes and all the features around Kubernetes and as a 46 00:03:27,130 --> 00:03:28,070 student of the course, 47 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,540 the most important resource for you is the GitHub repository of the course. The GitHub repository of this specific 48 00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:40,180 course is github.com/in28minutes/kubernetes-crash-course. 49 00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:45,700 I would recommend you to bookmark this GitHub repository because we would make use of the GitHub repository 50 00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,260 for a lot of things. 51 00:03:48,340 --> 00:03:52,800 You can also find the GitHub repository link in the resources section of this video. 52 00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:59,260 What are the recommended software for use in this specific course? We could recommend using any versions which 53 00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:06,070 are greater than or equal to Java 8 and we would recommend you to download and use one of the latest 54 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:09,670 versions of Eclipse Java EE. 55 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,430 If you do not have Java 8 plus or Eclipse installed, you can follow this playlist and install those two 56 00:04:15,430 --> 00:04:17,149 things. All the other stuff, 57 00:04:17,170 --> 00:04:21,250 we will install as we go on further in this specific course. 58 00:04:21,370 --> 00:04:26,350 If you have any problems with the installation or if you face any problems during the course, we also 59 00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:32,880 have a 50-page troubleshooting guide with solution to more than 200 frequently asked questions. 60 00:04:32,890 --> 00:04:36,640 Congratulations! You are joining 300,000 learners 61 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:42,600 having amazing course experiences from in28minutes. Enough talk. 62 00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:47,180 Let's dive straight in and start this amazing journey on Kubernetes together.
