Prerequisites

To make the best of this course, students are expected to have:

  • Familiarity with the fundamental concepts of Kubernetes and public clouds.
  • Hands-on experience using command line tools and working with APIs.
  • Familiarity with Prometheus and Grafana, but expertise is not required.

Lab info:

Students will need access to the public cloud consoles of their choice for finding and configuring the required permissions if they wish to follow the cloud provider examples.

Access to a Kubernetes cluster with sufficient permissions for managing OpenCost will be necessary for hands-on testing and working with examples. Kind may be used as an on-premises equivalent if no public cloud deployments are available.
