Kubernetes Design Patterns Training in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This course introduces Kubernetes design patterns that help developers and DevOps engineers build reliable, scalable, and cloud-native applications. Participants will learn core Kubernetes concepts, design best practices, and implementation strategies using real-world examples. The training combines theoretical discussions with hands-on labs to ensure practical understanding.

Structural and Configuration Patterns

Module 1: Introduction to Kubernetes Design Patterns

• Why design patterns for Kubernetes?
• Categories of Kubernetes design patterns (Structural, Behavioral, Configuration)
• Relation to microservices and cloud-native architectures

Module 2: Structural Patterns

• Sidecar Pattern (extending containers)
• Ambassador Pattern (service proxying)
• Adapter Pattern (standardizing interfaces)

Module 3: Configuration Patterns

• ConfigMap Pattern (externalizing configuration)
• Secret Pattern (managing sensitive data)
• Init Container Pattern (preparing environment before app start)

Module 4: Composite Patterns

• Deployment and ReplicaSet patterns
• DaemonSet and Job patterns

Behavioral, Security, and Advanced Patterns

Module 5: Behavioral Patterns

• Leader Election Pattern (high availability in workloads)
• Work Queue Pattern (distributed task processing)
• Self-Healing Pattern (ensuring resilience with probes and restarts)

Module 6: Security and Observability Patterns

• Secret Pattern (securely handling credentials)
• Sidecar for Logging and Monitoring
• Ambassador for secure ingress/egress

Module 7: Advanced Patterns and Best Practices

• Controller and Operator patterns (custom resources, automation)
• Singleton Pattern in Kubernetes
• Anti-patterns and pitfalls in Kubernetes design

Module 8: Wrap-up and Roadmap

• Recap of structural, configuration, and behavioral patterns
• Choosing the right pattern for the right problem
• Kubernetes design maturity roadmap
• Q&A and final assessment discussion
