Description
Learning Kubernetes is essential for any DevOps professional. DevOps engineers are always in demand. Currently, the average Silicon Valley salary for a DevOps engineer is 20% higher than what a software engineer makes. And one of the most in-demand skills is Kubernetes Deployment.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.Simplify Complex Technology

This course helps you gain the knowledge required to design and deploy cloud-native applications on a Kubernetes cluster. A series of well-designed lectures with animation and illustrations help you understand complex concepts easily.

Practice! Practice! Practice!

Lectures alone won't help you clear the certification. The Kubernetes Certification (CKAD) is a practical, hands-on exam. You need hands-on experience, you need to get fast, and you need practice. That is what our integrated hands-on lab experience gives you.

Our coding quizzes can be accessed right in your browser without having to set up any lab environment yourself. We validate your work and give you feedback instantly. Preview a few lab exercises for Free!

After you have completed the lectures and coding exercises, you will have the opportunity to complete a series of assignments that put your new skills to the test. You will be given a challenge to solve using the Kubernetes skills you have learned.

This will give you real-world experience and the chance to work with other students in the community. You will develop a Kubernetes deployment and get feedback for your work.
