Overview/Description
Cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters benefit from underlying cloud capabilities but are not immune to issues related to workload management and Pod availability. Administrators need to investigate and swiftly resolve such issues by adopting the most efficient and effective troubleshooting approaches. In this course, you'll examine the recommended options for customizing Kubernetes clusters, how extension points interact with Kubernetes Control Plane, the log files present on a cluster's master and worker nodes, and master and worker node critical entries that help identify issues. To complete this course, you'll practice resolving potential problems associated with using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and fix common issues related to deployed workloads on Google Kubernetes clusters. Lastly, you'll set up a Kubernetes cluster to ingest logs into Elasticsearch and visualize the metrics using Kibana. This course is part of a series that aligns with the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam's objectives and can be used in preparation for it.
