Certified Kubernetes Administrator

As a team facilitating other teams in hosting their Docker containers or as a DevOps team that does everything by their selves you’ve decided to go to Kubernetes. Great choice and there are readily available solutions to get started on Kubernetes. Everything runs fine on day 1. But what about day 2? Do you know how the system you’ve just provisioned actually functions?

Queue the ‘Certified Kubernetes Administrator’ class. This is your chance to kickstart your Kubernetes learning experience. This training takes you from zero Kubernetes-know-how to “Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)” in only two days.

This class is intended for engineers who build, maintain and support container platforms and want to learn more how to build a truly production-ready platform. Whether it’s self-hosted or hosted on a cloud platform such as Google Cloud this training will help you forward.  Acquire the knowledge needed to get your CKA certification in a two-day course and be ready for any challenges your cluster might face.
