Running containerized applications in production requires more than deploying a Kubernetes cluster.
In Container Workload Management and Production Operations, you’ll build hands-on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) skills for deploying, scaling, securing, monitoring, and managing containerized workloads. You’ll progress from Kubernetes and GKE fundamentals to production operations such as deployment management, workload optimization, autoscaling, monitoring, backup and restore, security hardening, and multi-tenant cluster management. You’ll also explore how GKE Fleets and managed service mesh capabilities support applications distributed across multiple clusters. By the end of this specialization, you’ll be able to: Create and manage GKE clusters and deploy containerized applications Configure and scale Kubernetes deployments using kubectl and YAML Optimize workloads for availability, performance, resource use, and cost Apply autoscaling, monitoring, backup, and recovery strategies to GKE workloads Harden GKE clusters and manage access in multi-tenant environments Manage workloads and distributed services across multiple GKE clusters
