This instructor-led, live training in Kenya (available online or onsite) is designed for Kubernetes practitioners aiming to prepare for the CKS exam.

By the end of this training, participants will understand how to protect Kubernetes environments and container-based applications throughout the various stages of an application's life cycle: build, deployment, and runtime.

This intensive 7-day programme offers a comprehensive, practical journey into the design, deployment, and operation of cloud-native applications through modern DevOps practices.

Participants will discover how to architect scalable microservices, optimise container environments, and manage production workloads using Kubernetes. The curriculum addresses advanced deployment techniques, GitOps-driven automation, and observability strategies to guarantee system reliability and high performance.

A significant emphasis is placed on real-world operational challenges, such as incident response, failure simulation, and root cause analysis. The programme wraps up with the integration of AI-powered tools designed to streamline troubleshooting and expedite operational decision-making.

Upon completion, participants will possess a solid grasp of how to construct, deploy, monitor, and sustain resilient distributed systems within a Kubernetes ecosystem.

Master the essentials of containers, Kubernetes, and OpenShift through practical, hands-on training tailored for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals. Learners will discover how to construct containerized applications, deploy workloads, manage Kubernetes resources, and leverage OpenShift to optimize modern application delivery across cloud and hybrid environments.

Learn how to build, deploy, and administer containerized environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift. This five-day, hands-on training covers container images, Kubernetes workloads, cluster networking, storage, security, monitoring, and practical OpenShift administration. Participants gain the skills needed to operate modern container platforms and troubleshoot applications across development and production environments.

In this instructor-led live training in Kenya (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to create and manage Docker containers before deploying a sample application inside one. Attendees will also discover how to automate, scale, and manage their containerized applications within a Kubernetes cluster. The training progresses to more advanced topics, guiding participants through the processes of securing, scaling, and monitoring a Kubernetes cluster.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up and run a Docker container.
• Deploy a containerized server and web application.
• Build and manage Docker images.
• Set up a Docker and Kubernetes cluster.
• Use Kubernetes to deploy and manage a clustered web application.
• Secure, scale and monitor a Kubernetes cluster.

Course Objectives: Gain theoretical and practical skills in Docker and Kubernetes.
