Curriculum
ACP-006 — 5-Module Programme
- Cloud-native concepts — definition, core technologies, and typical architectures of cloud-native systems including microservices and serverless patterns
- Docker deep dive — image layering, Dockerfile best practices, networking modes, volume management, and container security hardening
- Kubernetes architecture — control plane components (API server, scheduler, etcd), worker node components (kubelet, kube-proxy), and cluster communication
- Kubernetes core resources — Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumes
- ACK cluster types — managed, dedicated, and Serverless Kubernetes; architecture comparison, feature sets, and deployment scenarios
- Application lifecycle management — deploying workloads with Helm, rolling updates, canary releases, blue-green deployments, and rollback strategies
- Network management — CNI plugins, Service types, Ingress controllers, SLB integration, Network Policy, and cross-VPC connectivity
- Storage, auto-scaling, and security — CSI drivers, EBS/NAS/OSS volumes, HPA/VPA, cluster autoscaler, RBAC, admission controllers, and audit logging
- ASM architecture — product overview, functional characteristics, Istio control/data plane, and how ASM integrates with ACK clusters
- Traffic management — virtual services, destination rules, gateway configuration, traffic shifting, fault injection, and circuit breaking
- Security features — mutual TLS (mTLS), certificate management, authorization policies, and end-to-end service-to-service encryption
- Observability and diagnosis — distributed tracing with Jaeger, metrics with Prometheus, access logging, and ASM mesh diagnosis tools
- ACR fundamentals — Docker and OCI registry concepts, ACR Default Instance vs Enterprise Edition architecture, features, and application scenarios
- Instance management — namespace and repository creation, network access control, VPC endpoint configuration, and cross-region replication
- Image security — vulnerability scanning policies, image signing, acceleration (P2P), and delivery chain management for CI/CD pipelines
- Enterprise Edition — instance creation, permission management, delivery chain integration, and resolving common operational issues
- ACK@Edge concepts — edge computing scenarios, cloud-edge collaboration model, and how ACK@Edge extends Kubernetes to edge nodes
- Edge node management — creating highly available edge node pools, adding edge nodes via console, and upgrading/maintaining edge clusters
- Application scheduling — edge node labels, tolerations, scheduling policies for edge workloads, and managing disconnected edge scenarios
- Lifecycle and monitoring — logging, monitoring, scaling, and unified management of cloud and edge workloads using ACK@Edge
