This module guides learners through deploying microservices to Kubernetes using Helm, focusing on templating, configuration management, and environment-specific deployments. Learners will explore how to use Helm charts to streamline Kubernetes manifests and verify deployments in development, staging, and production environments. Practical testing and configuration strategies are also covered to ensure robust microservice deployment.

This module explores how to streamline microservice architectures by leveraging Kubernetes-native features such as ConfigMaps, Ingress, and cert-manager. Learners will discover how to replace external services with built-in Kubernetes tools, automate certificate management, and ensure system functionality after these changes. Practical steps and verification techniques are provided to support a smooth transition.

This module guides learners through implementing a service mesh with Istio to enhance observability, security, and management of microservices. You will explore traffic control, secure communication using mTLS and OAuth 2.0, resilience testing with fault injection, and strategies for zero-downtime deployments. Practical exercises include deploying multiple service versions and monitoring system behavior using tools like Kiali and Jaeger.

This module guides learners through configuring and deploying the EFK stack on Kubernetes to enable centralized logging for microservices. Participants will gain hands-on experience collecting, searching, and analyzing log records, and will learn to perform root cause analysis using real-world scenarios.

This module guides learners through setting up comprehensive monitoring for microservices using Prometheus, Grafana, and Kiali. You will learn how to collect and visualize performance metrics, configure dashboards, and set up automated alerts to ensure system reliability. Practical exercises include modifying source code for metrics collection and managing dashboard configurations.

This module guides you through setting up essential development tools on macOS, including accessing course source code and configuring Docker for optimal performance. You will learn the technical requirements and post-installation steps necessary to ensure a smooth development environment. By the end, you'll be ready to execute course commands and examples efficiently.

This module guides you through setting up a development environment on Windows 11 using WSL 2 and Ubuntu 24.04. You will learn how to install and configure Visual Studio Code with the Remote WSL extension to streamline your workflow between Windows and Linux. By the end, you'll be ready to access course materials and edit source code seamlessly across both systems.

This module guides learners through the process of compiling Java microservices into native executables using GraalVM and Spring AOT. You will explore the benefits and challenges of native compilation, learn how to update source code and runtime properties, and practice deploying and testing native images with Docker Compose.
