Kubernetes Networking with Calico Training Course
Project Calico serves as a networking solution designed for containers and virtual machines. Initially developed for OpenStack to streamline data transmission across networks, it now supports a wide range of environments including Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker EE, OpenStack, bare metal services, and more. Calico leverages IP routing rather than relying on complex workarounds such as overlay networks, virtual networks, or traditional switching, thereby enabling highly efficient and secure networking.
This instructor-led, live training, available either online or onsite, is designed for engineers seeking to manage Kubernetes cluster networking through a simplified IP routing approach.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Calico.
- Leverage Calico to establish a container networking solution for Kubernetes clusters.
- Differentiate Calico from traditional overlay networks.
- Comprehend how Calico integrates internet routing protocols with consensus-based data stores.
