Workshop Details

What makes this workshop stand out

What you will learn and take away

After three days of Kubernetes training, you will deploy and manage applications confidently in a cluster. Here is what you take home:

  • Create and configure Pods, Deployments, Services, and Namespaces, and understand how they work together
  • Roll out applications with rolling updates and rollbacks with zero downtime
  • Experience how Kubernetes automatically restarts failed containers and scales under load

All exercises run in a real Kubernetes cluster in the cloud. No local setup, no simulations.

Want to continue? Our Kubernetes Advanced Workshop (DW3) and certification workshops (CKAD Exam Prep (DW5), CKA Exam Prep (DW6)) build directly on this.

Why the investment pays off

Without Kubernetes expertise, your team loses time on manual deployments and error-prone processes. This Kubernetes training changes that:

  • Faster releases: Standardized deployment processes reduce manual steps and accelerate delivery
  • More stable applications: Self-healing, automatic rollbacks, and health checks improve availability
  • Better collaboration: Development and operations work with the same tools and processes

Small groups of up to 8 participants, so we can address questions from your specific project context.

Prerequisites

Required:

  • Basic Linux knowledge and experience with the terminal
  • Comfortable working in a text editor or IDE

Recommended:

  • Some experience with Docker or Podman, e.g. familiarity with Dockerfiles

No container experience yet? Our Docker fundamentals training is the perfect starting point.

"My colleagues specifically looked for a sysadmin course for Docker with another provider and had an instructor who only set up an IDE for them and then only worked on a task sheet with development tasks. I had a course with lots of background information, an instructor who had a really extensive knowledge of the whole subject matter beyond the slides, and I feel optimally informed."

"From my perspective, the workshop had the right speed and an appropriate level of challenge. The subject matter was explained clearly by the instructor and practically consolidated with well-distributed exercises. Adjusting the workshop focus to the participants wishes was not a problem. Valuable practical experiences were shared, and even more specific questions were gladly answered. The instructor's professional expertise and extensive practical experience on the subject gave this workshop a special quality."

"I really enjoyed the Docker & Kubernetes workshop at DevNinjas. Nico explained the complex topics around containers and orchestration in a very understandable and practical way. The mix of theory and hands-on exercises was perfect for being able to apply everything directly.
