Kubernetes Training Course for Ops / SREs

This Ops-focussed instructor-led Kubernetes training course will provide you with the fundamentals required to create your own secure cluster, and deploy applications to it.

There is a focus on monitoring, metrics, and security; vital topics in managing a modern platform.

Practical workshops will walk you through installing your own cluster, and configuring fundamentals such as role-based-access-control, and autoscaling.

Remote attendance is available - as part of a wider training programme or standalone workshop, as a custom on-site course, and public scheduled courses in London.
