This course covers the core concepts typically used to build and administer a Kubernetes cluster in production, using vendor-independent tools. We build a cluster, determine network configuration, grow the cluster, deploy applications and configure the storage, security and other objects necessary for typical use. This course offers exposure to the many skills necessary to administer Kubernetes in a production environment and is excellent preparation for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam.

Prerequisites
May 2023
I am so pleased with this course. I only wish I was a little stronger with YAML and LINUX before I came in, but overall I felt the material and pace were completely appropriate, given the subject matter.
May 2023
Great course, great instructor. Tom was the best!
May 2023
Well explained, and lots of labs in order to better understand the topic.
May 2023
The hands on labs were effective in understanding concepts like installation, upgrade etc.
May 2023
I LOVED how much troubleshooting there was, and how we got to work through the problems with the guidance of an instructor, as it helped me gain a better understanding of where/how to troubleshoot the issues that I was experiencing. I don't particularly enjoy setups that are issue-free, because that's simply not how the real world works, and labs/scenarios with "injected" problems are ok, but it usually lacks complexity.

Fazlur was knowledgeable, and able to solve our queries.
Apr 2023
The training lessons and labs were well-designed. I really liked working along with the training. And super likes for the trainer.
Jan 2023
I liked the lab configuration very much. The live notes were also very useful.
Feb 2022
I liked the intensity of the course, and how many labs there were. I'm not going to pretend I absorbed it all (Kubernetes is pretty dense!), but because every step is explicitly laid out in the provided handouts, I can revisit the material over and over.
