Google Kubernetes Engine is a secured and fully-managed Kubernetes service that features autopilot mode of operation, pod and cluster autoscaling, and enterprise-ready containerized solutions. Use this course to get familiar with using the Google Kubernetes Engine dashboard. Start by learning how to manage clusters and controlling access to them. Next, you'll examine the use of the dashboard to perform other operations, such as creating and using volumes with deployments, creating secrets to store sensitive data, and using Config Connector for Kubernetes. You'll also explore how to view the container image repository, manage node pools, and implement pod deployments. You'll then discover the creation of StatefulSets, DaemonSets, and a ConfigMap. Finally, you'll learn to use Persistent volumes and dynamic provisioning to manage durable storage in your clusters.
