Learn Docker containers and Kubernetes Now!
What's in it?
Learn the core concepts of Docker containers and Kubernetes. Perfect for developers, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineers and I.T. Pros. No previous experience with containers or Kubernetes is needed. After using containers and Kubernetes locally, you'll deploy them in the Cloud by using managed Kubernetes and other container services.
Hands-on
Not just videos! An important part of our training is dedicated to building, managing and deploying containers on Kubernetes. In each module, you'll find a series of detailed exercises and tasks in order to put into practice what you just learned. No coding experience is needed.
Cloud Providers
We have courses specially tailored for running containers and Kubernetes on the major Cloud providers platforms: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean and Linode. Not only will you use their managed Kubernetes service but also other services like container registries or running serverless containers.
The Learning Experience
Learn the concepts
Start learning the concepts by watching short lectures.
Learn to apply the concepts

Why choose our courses?
Docker & Kubernetes
First, lay the foundation by using Docker and Kubernetes locally. You'll learn about their concepts and how to implement them. Build containers, publish them to a container registry, run them as multi-container applications, deploy them on Kubernetes. Configure storage and persistence, networking, observability probes, and more.
Tools
Go beyond the basics by learning how to use 3rd party tools like Helm, Prometheus and Grafana. How to use dashboards like Lens and K9s. How to configure an Ingress controller and learn the benefits of using a Service Mesh and how to use one.
Hands-On
You’ll experience several hands-on exercises throughout the courses as you learn how to build, deploy and monitor containers locally and in the Cloud. No coding experience is required but you'll use the terminal, command prompt, and VS Code extensively.
Unlimited access for 365 days
Study when and where you want for a full year. Go full speed ahead or take your time and come back as often as you like. You can watch the lectures on your phone or tablet and complete the exercises on your computer.
All content is regularly updated
Things move fast in the Cloud that's why we update our courses regularly so the content is always up to date. We notify you when new content has been published so you don't miss a thing.
Tailored for each Cloud provider
Each course is tailored why content specific to the Cloud provider you use. Not only will you learn how to use their managed Kubernetes service but you'll also learn how to run containers on other services like container registries and services that can run serverless containers.

Why is this for me?
Developer
You’re a developer new to Docker containers and Kubernetes and you’ve been tasked to containerize an application to be hosted in the Cloud.
You want to understand the core container concepts so you can build, test, and troubleshoot containers locally.
You want to learn about the container services available with your Cloud provider. You also want to learn how microservices hosted in Kubernetes works so you can architect and develop the system accordingly.
No matter what development platform you use, this course will help you achieve your goals. Note that the course’s main focus is on deploying and running containerized applications and not about coding them and you’ll use VS Code to create configuration files, not coding actual apps.
DevOps / SRE
You’re new to Docker containers and Kubernetes. As the DevOps specialist or Site Reliability Engineer in your team, you want to understand how containers work and how to build and test them locally. You want to learn about the container services available with your Cloud provider and how to configure and manage applications on Kubernetes. You also want to configure and manage Kubernetes clusters.
This course will help you achieve your goals as it focuses on deploying and configuring applications, not coding them. You’ll use VS Code intensively to create configuration files and deploy readily made apps (no coding required) with CLI commands in the terminal or command prompt. You’ll learn how to use the managed Kubernetes service offered by your Cloud provider.
I.T. Pro / Ops
You’re new to Docker containers and Kubernetes. As the I.T. Pro in your team, you want to understand containers and how to use the managed Kubernetes service offered by your Cloud provider. You want to deploy applications, understand how networking works and how to monitor and scale the system in production.
This course will help you achieve your goals as it focuses on deploying applications plus configuring and monitoring Kubernetes. You’ll use VS Code intensively to create configuration files and deploy readily made apps (no coding required) with CLI commands in the terminal or command prompt. Note that specific I.T. Pro topics like advanced security and advanced networking beyond the basics are not covered in our courses.
