Kubernetes Application Developer: Services Ingress and Networking Fundamentals

Reliable service discovery and secure network communication are essential for Kubernetes-based microservice architectures. In this course, explore how to configure ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer services to ensure reliable service exposure. Next, discover how to deploy headless services and NGINX Ingress to guide traffic routing and terminate TLS securely. Finally, learn to implement fine-grained Network Policies and refine namespace-level controls to achieve secure, scalable, and predictable networking in production-grade Kubernetes deployments.This course is part of a series designed to prepare learners for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam.
