About the course
Our Instructor-led Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) training course will give you hands-on experience of configuring AKS and deploying, managing and monitoring containerised applications on a "K8s" cluster hosted on Azure.
You will gain an understanding of the key functionality of Azure Kubernetes Service, as well as the fundamental concepts of using Docker and Kubernetes to containerise your applications, APIs and services.
This AKS training course is available as a standalone workshop or as part of a wider training programme with flexible remote virtual online attendance options - get in touch to find out how we can tailor your training to meet your specific needs.
Online and in-house face-to-face options are available - as part of a wider customised training programme, or as a standalone workshop, on-site at your offices or at one of many flexible meeting spaces in the UK and around the World.
