Kubernetes is a leading technology for hosting containerized workloads and forms a cornerstone of the whole Cloud Native landscape. Along with other Cloud Native projects, Kubernetes enables you to deliver applications to your customers securely and reliably - at an extremely fast pace and low cost!
That is, of course, with the assumption that your engineering team has the necessary knowledge and skills to use these tools according to best practices.
However, learning Kubernetes on your own and along the way, while designing and implementing production-grade application solutions, may be a challenging and stressful experience.
To make the learning process efficient, effective and enjoyable, Elastisys, in collaboration with Elastx, offers Kubernetes training and certification packages, suitable for application developers, DevOps experts and Cloud Native transformation solution architects.
A perfect mix of applicable theory, lively discussions and hands-on labs
The Kubernetes for App Developers (LFD459) training is an official course offered by the Linux Foundation. This course is a great introduction to the deployment of containerized workloads in Kubernetes, the leading open-source orchestration system. All the course materials are prepared and maintained by the Linux Foundation experts and battle-tested during training sessions delivered worldwide.
This course covers all crucial topics needed to get started with the development and deployment of Kubernetes-ready applications:
- necessary basics of Kubernetes architecture
- how to containerize your application
- how to design your application to get the most out of Kubernetes functionality
- how to deploy your application on the Kubernetes cluster
- how to secure your application using native Kubernetes features
- how to expose your application to clients over the network
- how to troubleshoot typical errors
The training consists of both lectures and hands-on labs. During the lectures, the instructor will introduce Kubernetes concepts and explain how they interact with each other, while participants are encouraged to share and discuss their experiences with related technologies. During the labs, you will work on a fully functional, production-ready Kubernetes cluster and gain practical experience with all the topics covered by the training curriculum.
Great preparation for your CKAD exam
The training curriculum itself is fully aligned with the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam - a worldwide recognized certification validating the holder's ability to design, build and deploy production-grade cloud native applications.
As a Linux Foundation Training Partner, Elastisys offers training and certification packages, including exam vouchers, at an attractive price.
With over twenty Elastisys engineers holding various Kubernetes certifications, we know how to efficiently and effectively support you in preparation for the CKAD exam! Based on our extensive experience, we have compiled an Exam Preparation Guide full of practical tips and ready-to-use exam preparation plan.
You will receive a printed copy of our Elastisys CKAD Exam Preparation Guide at the end of the training!
Renowned instructor with extensive industry and academia experience
Elastisys has a vast experience in cloud native technology. We maintain a Welkin platform available as both a fully managed and self-managed service. What’s more, Elastisys supports various organizations in adopting DevOps practices following industry best practices.
The training will be conducted by Jakub Krzywda, PhD, a Linux Foundation Authorized Instructor who teaches all Kubernetes courses in preparation for CKA, CKAD, and CKS exams, while still being active as a senior engineering consultant at Elastisys. Jakub has been recognized by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation as a community leader and education ambassador, and received the title of "Kubestronaut”.
Amazing location in central Stockholm
Our training will take place at the famous Convendum Slussen, home of the Elastx headquarter.
It is a great location with multiple accommodation options nearby and convenient public transport alternatives. It is less than a 5-minute walk from the Slussen metro station, making it ideal for commuters from the Stockholm area and participants coming from other parts of Sweden and Europe.
Bonus: You will be able to experience this stunning view over Guldbron and Gamla Stan - Stockholm’s old town, Skeppsholmen and Gröna Lund amusement park in the background!
What’s also important: an unlimited supply of coffee and water will be provided throughout all training days!
You will also enjoy the great variety of Södermalm’s restaurants. You will have an opportunity to explore them by joining us for lunch, where we can continue our technology-focused discussions or just have a friendly chat! During previous courses we already tried asian and mexican cuisine - food was delicious!
Friendly atmosphere to facilitate learning
Talking about the good atmosphere: we always strive to ensure well sized training groups with a good mixture of previous professional backgrounds. It is a great way to enrich the course content and facilitate exchange of knowledge and practical experiences.
Throughout the course, there is always room for questions, comments, further clarifications, and sharing related previous experiences. It takes a joint effort from both the instructor and participants to create a positive and safe knowledge-sharing environment. When we feel comfortable with openly expressing our doubts, challenges and frustrations, we can fully immerse ourselves in the learning experience and ensure an in-depth understanding of the topics covered.
A head start into your Cloud Native transformation
In the Elastisys training portfolio, you can also find Kubernetes Administration (LFS458) and Kubernetes Security Fundamentals (LFS460) official Linux Foundation courses. Moreover, based on our experience in working with various Cloud Native projects, we have crafted training content to upskill you in technologies such as Helm, Istio and Prometheus, just to name a few.
