Integrating with Cloud Providers
This course dives into the usage of a Kubernetes cloud provider to interact with underlying infrastructure components such as storage devices and load balancers.
Course Outline
Introduction to Cloud Providers
What does a Kubernetes cloud provider do? Why would you want to use one? This lesson tackles why you might want to use a cloud provider and what capabilities they provide.
Setting up the vSphere Cloud Provider
Before cloud providers can be used to interact with our infrastructure, they must be properly configured. This lesson walks through setting up the Kubernetes Cloud Provider on vSphere Infrastructure.
Leveraging the vSphere Cloud Provider
In this lesson, you'll gain experience using a properly configured Kubernetes cloud provider on vSphere Infrastructure. This lesson demonstrates how to use vSphere storage with Kubernetes persistent volumes, and how to use a zone aware cluster for higher availability.
Setting up the AWS Cloud Provider
In this lesson, you'll learn how to setup the AWS Cloud Provider with your Kubernetes cluster so that you can take advantage of AWS Infrastructure such as Elastic Block Storage (EBS) devices and Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs).
Leveraging the AWS Cloud Provider
This lesson will demonstrate how to use a properly configured AWS Cloud Provider with your Kubernetes cluster. You'll learn how to use Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) for ingress access and Elastic Block Storage (EBS) backed persistent volumes.
