MICROSERVICES MARCH 2022
Kubernetes Networking
On Demand Program
Each unit can be completed independently, and in any order. Do the pieces that are most relevant to you!
What Does Each Microservices March Unit Include?
Webinar
Each unit kicks off with a 1‑hour webinar featuring Learnk8s that provides a high‑level overview of the topic.
Technical Reading and Videos
We expect you’ll have more questions after the webinar – that’s why we’re providing a collection of relevant reading and videos to deepen your knowledge.
Hands-on Labs
Get hands‑on with cloud‑native technologies including minikube, Helm, Locust, KEDA, Prometheus, Jaeger, NGINX Ingress Controller, and NGINX Service Mesh.
Unit 1: Architecting Kubernetes Clusters for High-Traffic Websites
High-Level Overview | 1 hour
Learn the essentials of Kubernetes networking including infrastructure, different ways to expose services, and the Ingress controller landscape.
WATCH THE WEBINAR
Dive Deeper | 1–2 hours
NodePort, LoadBalancer, Ingress controller…oh my! This collection explains the different ways you can expose services and how to choose the option that’s best for you.
START READING
Put into Practice | 1 hour
You’ll use NGINX Ingress Controller to expose a Kubernetes app, then drive traffic to that app, and finally observe the pod scaling on the number of requests.

Unit 2: Exposing APIs in Kubernetes
High-Level Overview | 1 hour
Learn how to execute common API gateway use cases in Kubernetes, including authorization and authentication, OIDC, and rate limiting.
WATCH THE WEBINAR
Dive Deeper | 1–2 hours
There are at least three different tools you can use to accomplish API gateway use cases. This collection covers how to choose the right tool for your use cases and further explores how to manage Kubernetes APIs.
START READING
Put into Practice | 1 hour
You’ll use NGINX Ingress Controller to implement rate limiting and prevent your app from getting overwhelmed by too many requests.
GET LAB GUIDE
Unit 3: Microservices Security Pattern
High-Level Overview | 1 hour
Learn about the sidecar pattern and policies that can make your services more secure and resilient, including a live hacking demo.
WATCH THE WEBINAR
Dive Deeper | 1–2 hours
Service mesh is the hot topic at just about every Kubernetes conference, but do you need one? This collection helps you answer that question, and more!
START READING
Put into Practice | 1 hour
You’ll secure a pod using NGINX as a sidecar and intercept unwanted east-west traffic.

Unit 4: Advanced Kubernetes Deployment Strategies
High-Level Overview | 1 hour
Learn about zero downtime deployments using tactics such as traffic splitting, blue-green deployments, tracing, and mapping the flow in real time.
WATCH THE WEBINAR
Dive Deeper | 1–2 hours
What are all the ways you can increase uptime with traffic management tools? This collection covers various visibility and resilience techniques that answer that question.
START READING
Put into Practice | 1 hour
You’ll use NGINX Service Mesh to execute a blue-green deployment with using a canary release to ensure your new app doesn’t crash once it receives traffic.
