Getting started with Google Kubernetes Engine (GC-GSGKE)

This course will teach you how to containerize workloads in Docker containers, deploy them to Kubernetes clusters provided by Google Kubernetes Engine, and scale those workloads to handle increased traffic.

You'll also learn how to continuously deploy new code in a Kubernetes cluster to provide application updates.
