Extending Kubernetes: Implementing Kubernetes Extensions

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Kubernetes provides an extensibility framework that can be used to provide new functions and features to the system. This allows Kubernetes to grow and provide custom functionality to this platform. Use this course to learn about specific methods for extending Kubernetes and follow practical demonstrations of how this is done. Begin by exploring methods for extending Kubernetes on the client side and server side. Learn how to extend Kubernetes using customer resource definitions and the Service Catalog. Discover how container platforms such as RedHat's OpenShift are used to provide additional functionality for Kubernetes. Moving on, practice how to install the Service Catalog using Helm, write and install kubectl plugins, perform debugging on pods, create and use CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs), and create an application in the OpenShift platform using the command-line interface (CLI) and the web console interface. When you're done, you'll know the best ways to implement and leverage methods available for extending Kubernetes.
