In this module, you'll learn all you need to know to learn applications in Kubernetes. I'll start by explaining what Kubernetes is and how it fits into cloud native environments. Next, you'll learn how to install Kubernetes, either in a minikube-based test environment, in cloud, or on-premise. And then you'll learn what is needed to run applications in Kubernetes, which is followed by lessons about providing access to applications and configuring your workloads with persistent storage. In the last lesson in this module, I'll explain how to provide configurations to applications in a cloud native way using config maps and secret resources.
