Course description

In this project, you’ll deploy a fully functional WordPress site with a MySQL database on Kubernetes using Helm—the package manager for Kubernetes. Starting with a running Kubernetes cluster, you’ll install Helm v3 and create custom Helm charts for both WordPress and MySQL. You’ll learn how to structure charts, define deployments and services, and manage configuration through values files.

Through hands-on steps, you’ll install and configure each chart, connect WordPress to the database, and complete the WordPress setup via the web UI. By the end, you’ll understand how Helm simplifies Kubernetes deployments, enables repeatable installations, and manages application dependencies.

This project is ideal for DevOps engineers, Kubernetes administrators, and platform teams looking to streamline application deployment on Kubernetes.

Additionally, all learners receive dedicated online support through our Slack workspace where you can ask questions, get troubleshooting help, and interact with our team throughout the entire project.
