Anypoint Platform Operations: Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes (OPS335)

When you complete this course, you will be able to:

• Describe the features, benefits, and architecture of Runtime Fabric.
• Install and configure Runtime Fabric on self-managed Kubernetes.
• Deploy Mule applications to Runtime Fabric.
• Perform maintenance tasks using command-line tools.
• Scale Runtime Fabric deployments for performance and high availability.
• Use Anypoint Monitoring for alerts, dashboarding, and monitoring.

This course is for Anypoint Platform administrators including operations personnel, developers, and architects who want to get hands-on experience installing, configuring, and using Runtime Fabric on a managed Kubernetes solution provided by AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Note: This course does NOT teach you how to operate and manage a Kubernetes environment; your company needs to already have this expertise to use Runtime Fabric on self-managed Kubernetes. If you instead want to get experience with our integration platform as a service, take the Anypoint Platform Operations: CloudHub 2.0 course, and if you want to stay completely in your own-hosted environment, take the Anypoint Platform Operations: Customer-Hosted Runtimes course.
