Kubernetes Networking with Calico Training Course
Project Calico is a networking solution designed for containers and virtual machines. Initially developed for OpenStack to simplify data transmission across networks, it now supports Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker EE, OpenStack, bare metal services, and more. Calico relies on IP routing rather than switching, virtual networks, overlay networks, or other complex workarounds to deliver efficient and secure networking capabilities.
This instructor-led live training, available online or on-site, is designed for engineers looking to network Kubernetes clusters using a simplified IP routing approach.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Calico.
- Utilise Calico to establish a container networking solution for Kubernetes clusters.
- Grasp how Calico differs from traditional overlay networks.
- Understand how Calico integrates internet routing protocols with consensus-based data stores.
- Implement secure network policies for Kubernetes using Calico.
Course Format
- Interactive lectures and discussions.
- Extensive exercises and practical sessions.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
