Kubernetes Intermediate: Scaling, Policy, and Operability

A focused follow on course for teams who completed Kubernetes fundamentals and want to run applications with stronger reliability and guardrails. Participants deepen scheduling, networking, storage, and day two operations. The agenda favors clear patterns that fit real world clusters without unnecessary complexity.

What will you learn?

You will tune workloads for predictable performance, control traffic and access with modern primitives, and manage persistent state safely. You will add observability and policy to catch issues early and standardize delivery across environments. By the end, you can scale confidently, change safely, and troubleshoot faster.

Calibrate requests and limits, autoscaling, and rollout controls for stability
Apply NetworkPolicies and modern ingress or gateway patterns for safe traffic
Operate StatefulSets and storage classes with backup, resize, and migration basics
Strengthen operations with dashboards, alerts, admission controls, and a proven debug workflow

Requirements:

Comfortable with Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and basic storage
kubectl access to a sandbox or learning cluster
Familiarity with YAML and a text editor

Course Outline*:

*We know each team has their own needs and specifications. That is why we can modify the training outline per need.

Module 1: Advanced workload management

Requests and limits tuning with QoS classes for predictable scheduling
PodDisruptionBudgets aligning maintenance with availability targets
Horizontal Pod Autoscaler v2 signals resource and custom metrics
Rolling updates in depth surge, maxUnavailable, and partitioned rollouts

Module 2: Networking and traffic control

Ingress controllers vs Gateway API choices and migration path
NetworkPolicies patterns namespace and pod selectors with defaults
Service discovery debugging Endpoints and EndpointSlice signals
Handling protocols and sessions HTTP, gRPC, websockets, stickiness

Module 3: State, storage, and configuration

StorageClasses parameters access modes, reclaim policy, and topology hints
StatefulSets update strategies, stable identities, and volumeClaimTemplates
Backup and restore with snapshots plus PVC resize and migration notes
Configuration hygiene immutable ConfigMaps or Secrets and projected volumes

Module 4: Operability, policy, and troubleshooting

Observability essentials kube state metrics, recording rules, and useful dashboards
Admission and policy Pod Security Admission profiles and controller overview
Delivery at scale GitOps basics with Helm and kustomize layering
Debug workflow describe, logs, events, kubectl debug and ephemeral containers
