Day-1 Module 1: Kubernetes History This module will discuss how the industry operated before containerization technology, moving into how technology has progressed going over important concepts like VMs, Virtualization, Containers, etc.

Module 2: Kubernetes Architecture This module introduces the container orchestration tool Kubernetes and discusses the underlying architecture of which it is built to give students a deep understanding before diving into some more intermediate topics.

Module 3: Autoscaling This module will introduce autoscaling for Kubernetes clusters, pods, and VMs. Students will also be led through an example to get some hands-on practice interacting with Kubernetes.

Module 4: Static IP/Load Balancing Services This module will dive into the concept of Static IP in Kubernetes and why it is important to use in your deployment.

Day-2 Module 1: Pod Tolerance & Scheduling This module provides students with the best practices to prioritize applications most important in the system. The lock & key philosophy is introduced here, as well as an in-depth explanation on how to configure your nodes to conform with best practices.
