Embark on a journey to Kubernetes excellence with a dive into Kubernetes Workloads APIs. This video is your one-stop shop for mastering the various controllers and APIs that define how applications run on the powerful orchestration platform.

We kick off with the building blocks of all Kubernetes workloads – Pods. You’ll learn about their lifecycle, how to create them, and what makes them tick. But since Pods alone aren’t enough for a robust system, we introduce ReplicaSets – the key to ensuring your desired number of pod replicas are always up and running.

Next, we level up to Deployments for complete lifecycle management of your Pods and ReplicaSets, including updates and rollbacks. You’ll gain insights into setting up zero-downtime deployment strategies that keep your applications resilient.

For applications that require stable networking and persistent storage, we dive into StatefulSets, explaining how they differ from Deployments and suit specific use cases. You’ll learn how to handle stateful applications with confidence, ensuring data consistency and service discovery.

DaemonSets ensure that some workloads are a constant presence on your nodes. We cover scenarios where DaemonSets are essential and show you how to utilize them for tasks such as log collection and monitoring.

For workloads that need to run once or periodically, we unpack Jobs and CronJobs. Discover how to define batch jobs that run to completion and schedule them to run automatically, so your applications can handle maintenance tasks, data processing, or any other work that doesn’t fit into the always-on service model.

By the end of this video, you’ll possess an understanding of Kubernetes Workloads APIs. You’ll not only be able to deploy various types of applications but also manage their lifecycle and scale with the demands of your users.
