Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration and understanding how to run Kubernetes locally is an essential skill for developers, DevOps engineers and system administrators. KIND (Kubernetes IN Docker) provides a fast, lightweight, and flexible way to run local clusters using Docker containers.

What’s in this course?

This course is a practical, hands-on guide to KIND, designed for learners of all levels. You’ll learn how to set up and manage local Kubernetes clusters using Docker, with a step-by-step approach to understanding Kubernetes fundamentals through KIND.

Whether you're new to Kubernetes or looking to solidify your skills with a local testing environment, this course walks you through real-world use cases using live demonstrations, unedited and unscripted - helping you see not just how things work, but how to fix them when they don't.

Special Note:

This course is presented entirely through live demonstrations. Every concept is shown in real time, including setup, common mistakes and troubleshooting steps. The raw, unedited format ensures you learn how Kubernetes behaves in real-world scenarios - not just the ideal path.
