Course description
Overview
What’s in this course? K8sGPT Essentials - Unlocking Kubernetes Insights with AI course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of K8sGPT, covering foundational concepts to advanced implementations. K8sGPT simplifies the process of identifying and resolving issues in Kubernetes clusters by analyzing cluster state and providing AI-powered insights.The course starts with the foundational topics covering K8sGPT process workflow, walk-through of its extensive documentation. Then you’ll move on to setting up your environment using the k8sgpt CLI and In-Cluster Operator method to run diagnostics on Kubernetes clusters. You will explore the core components like analyzers, filters, and then dive into integrating k8sgpt with Google Gemini and Amazon Bedrock to enhance AI backend support. You’ll learn K8sGPT integrations with tools like Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring and visualisation, As you progress, you’ll delve into more specialized areas like JSON output formatting, data anonymization, advanced CLI flags, and Claude Desktop integration. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to use K8sGPT confidently for real-time Kubernetes troubleshooting across many environments. With a strong focus on hands-on learning, real-world scenarios, and Kubernetes integrations, this course will equip you with the skills to effectively diagnose, monitor, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters with K8sGPT and AI-driven insights. Special Note: This course is designed to showcase all practical concepts with live demonstrations. Every concept is presented in real-time, and any errors that arise are troubleshooted and addressed as they occur live in the demonstrations.
