AZ-1001: Deploy and manage containers using Azure Kubernetes Service

  • 4.76(2,889 Rating)

Course Overview

The AZ-1001 certification, though currently fictional and not officially recognized, is designed by CounselTrain to hypothetically cover expertise in deploying and managing containers using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). AKS is Microsoft’s managed container orchestration service, which simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.

Professionals achieving the AZ-1001 certification will demonstrate their ability to streamline and automate application development and deployment processes. This expertise allows industries to leverage the benefits of AKS, including seamless integration with Azure’s ecosystem, high availability, and robust security features, enabling efficient operation of cloud-native applications at scale.

Key Benefits

  • Seamless Integration: Utilize AKS for seamless integration with the Azure ecosystem.
  • High Availability: Ensure high availability for your applications with managed Kubernetes.
  • Security Features: Leverage robust security features provided by Azure.
  • Scalability: Efficiently scale applications to meet demand.

Learning Outcomes

  • Introduction to AKS: Understand the fundamentals of Azure Kubernetes Service.
  • Cluster Management: Learn to create and configure AKS clusters.
  • Deployment Skills: Deploy containerized applications to AKS.
  • Cluster Scaling: Manage and scale AKS clusters effectively.
  • CI/CD Implementation: Implement CI/CD pipelines with AKS.
  • Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Monitor and troubleshoot applications running in AKS.
  • Security Best Practices: Secure AKS clusters and applications.
