Kubernetes Administration

Do you know a little about containers and Kubernetes, but need to know more, including how to use them more effectively? Container Solutions,  a Linux Foundation Authorized Training Partner (ATP), is pleased to offer The Linux Foundation-Kubernetes Administration (LFS458) course.

Description

In this classroom-based, hands-on course, which prepares you take the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam, you’ll learn how to install and configure a production-grade Kubernetes cluster, from network configuration to upgrades to making deployments available via services. You will also learn how to maintain your Kubernetes administration.

This course is suitable for engineers who work with a variety of vendors’ tools. We use kubeadm to deploy the cluster and focus on tools that would work on anyone’s Kubernetes cluster. (To gain the skills needed to provision/manage a Kubernetes cluster, check out our Kubernetes for App Developers course, also offered through Amazic.)
