Who is this for?

This is an introductory topic for DevOps engineers, platform engineers, cloud-native developers, and Kubernetes administrators who want to deploy lightweight Kubernetes-native persistent storage on Arm-based cloud infrastructure.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

  • Install and configure K3s Kubernetes on Arm64 virtual machines powered by Azure Cobalt 100
  • Deploy OpenEBS LocalPV using Helm
  • Configure Kubernetes storage classes and PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs)
  • Deploy and validate stateful Kubernetes workloads with persistent storage

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

  • A Microsoft Azure account with access to Cobalt 100-based instances (Dpsv6)
  • Basic knowledge of Linux command-line operations
  • Familiarity with SSH and remote server access
  • Basic understanding of Kubernetes concepts and containerized applications
