Workshop Details

What makes this workshop stand out

What you will learn and take away

In the Kubernetes Advanced Workshop, you'll deepen your skills for production-ready deployments:

  • Stateful Workloads: You'll operate PostgreSQL and Redis with Operators and learn StatefulSets for persistent applications
  • Security & Networking: You'll configure RBAC for access control, Network Policies for isolation, and learn the Gateway API 1.4 plus modern alternatives (Traefik, Caddy) to the classic Ingress API
  • Observability & Scaling: You'll set up Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring and implement HPA, VPA, and KEDA for automatic scaling

All labs in your own cloud environment. Perfect follow-up to Kubernetes Introduction (DW2) or ideal preparation for CKA Exam Prep (DW6) and CKAD Exam Prep (DW5).

Why the investment pays off

Production outages due to inadequate Kubernetes security or inefficient resource usage cost your company time and money. Our Kubernetes Advanced training equips your team with the necessary skills:

  • Reduce costs: HPA, VPA, and KEDA for automatic scaling reduce infrastructure costs by up to 40% through demand-based resource allocation
  • Avoid downtime: RBAC, Network Policies, and monitoring with Prometheus increase cluster security and reduce security incidents
  • Accelerate deployment: Operators for databases and best practices for stateful workloads shorten rollout times and minimize manual errors

Small groups (max. 8 participants) guarantee individual coaching for your specific use cases.

Prerequisites

This course is based on our Kubernetes Introduction (DW2) course, so you should already be familiar with its contents. Alternatively, you can participate if you are familiar with the topics of the "Kubernetes for Beginners" workshop and have extensive experience with Kubernetes. This workshop is aimed at advanced users, DevOps engineers, developers, or administrators who are already working with Kubernetes.

"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."

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."
