Learn how to install, configure, and use NetApp® Trident to manage Kubernetes with NetApp ONTAP® based storage systems. Deploy NetApp 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 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. Finally, protect applications across clusters by using cloning and asynchronous SnapMirror.

Written for Kubernetes v1.29, NetApp Trident 24.10, and NetApp Trident Protect 24.10.1, this course includes appendixes on Kubernetes certifications, operator design patterns to extend Kubernetes, and a GitOps introduction.

OBJECTIVES

• Describe Kubernetes storage concepts
• Explain how Trident makes managing persistent storage easier, and install Trident in a Kubernetes cluster
• Configure back ends, storage classes, and persistent volumes to use storage that Trident manages
• Use Trident to manage common scenarios
• Install and use Trident Protect to protect Kubernetes applications
• Protect across clusters by cloning and mirroring applications
• Monitor Trident by using Prometheus and Grafana
  
• Investigate security options to ensure a secure Kubernetes environment
