Jellyfish has been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this one-day course.
The day will start with an introduction to containers, Docker, and the Google Container Registry.
You’ll learn to how to containerize workloads in Docker containers, deploy them to Kubernetes clusters provided by Google Kubernetes Engine, and scale those workloads to handle increased traffic.
We’ll also cover how to continuously deploy new code in a Kubernetes cluster to provide application updates.
This Getting started with Google Kubernetes Engine is available at our training centre in The Shard, London.
We also offer private training for your team, which is available upon request.
