Docker, Podman and Kubernetes Course Syllabus

Our training is independent of the chosen orchestration solution. We will analyze the different solutions available such as Docker Enterprise, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Red Hat OpenShift, but we focus on the concepts, use cases and tools they have in common, to end up deploying an environment based on the latest stable version of Kubernetes. You’ll learn everything you need to get DevOps best practices up and running with the flexibility provided by container-based PaaS solutions. Thanks to this course (and a lot of practice afterwards) you will be able to prepare for the “Certified Kubernetes Administrator” (CKA) certification.

All this through an eminently practical course created from our experience as trainers and consultants of Cloud, Linux and DevOps.
