Deploying .NET Microservices to Kubernetes

Scaling and managing complex microservice architectures can quickly become overwhelming without the right orchestration tools. This text-based course guides you through the process of taking your .NET applications and deploying them confidently to a Kubernetes cluster. You will transition from writing local .NET code to packaging, configuring, and running your services in a resilient, self-healing container environment. You will gain a solid understanding of how Kubernetes manages container lifecycles, handles traffic routing, and automates scaling to meet user demand. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of microservice architecture and containerization within the .NET ecosystem. - Build container images for .NET applications using modern, lightweight SDK tooling. - Write Kubernetes manifest files to define deployments, services, and configuration settings. - Configure health checks, liveness probes, and readiness probes using standard .NET middleware. - Manage application secrets and environment variables securely inside a Kubernetes cluster. - Scale your microservices horizontally to handle fluctuating traffic demands. The course begins with foundational definitions of container orchestration and microservice design before moving step-by-step through local containerization, Kubernetes resource creation, and live deployment configuration. This course is designed for beginner-to-intermediate .NET developers who are new to container orchestration and Kubernetes. No prior DevOps or cloud experience is required. Start reading today to bridge the gap between .NET development and modern cloud-native deployment.
