Overview

Learn how to install, configure, and use NetApp® Trident to manage Kubernetes with NetApp ONTAP® based storage systems. Deploy Trident by using the Trident operator and then use the tridentctl and kubectl methods to manage configurations. Configure NFS-backed, iSCSI-backed, NAS economy-backed, and NVMe over TCP (NVMe/TCP) backed storage. Manage Volume and VolumeGroup Snapshot copies, expand volumes, and import non- NetApp Trident volumes to become managed volumes. Install and configure Trident protect to protect Kubernetes applications by using snapshots and backups. Restore snapshots and backups in place and to new namespaces. Protect applications across clusters by using cloning and SnapMirror asynchronous technology. Finally, manage and protect KubeVirt virtual machines (VMs) using Trident and Trident Protect.

Written for Kubernetes v1.35, NetApp Trident, and NetApp Trident protect 26.02, this course includes appendixes on Kubernetes certifications, operator design patterns to extend Kubernetes, and a GitOps introduction
