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.
Workshop Agenda
Your Agenda at a Glance
Hands-on and structured. Every participant works in their own cloud environment. The agenda shows you what to expect each day.
09:00 - 09:30💬 Introduction Round
09:30 - 11:00
Databases in Kubernetes
You'll learn how to efficiently operate databases in Kubernetes. We show you the best practices you should consider for operating them. You'll also understand the concept of StatefulSet and the Kubernetes API for managing databases.
11:00 - 12:00
Kubernetes Operators for Databases
You'll implement Kubernetes Operators for PostgreSQL and Redis and learn the advantages and disadvantages of operators. We show you step by step how to set up and configure operators. You'll see how Kubernetes Operators simplify and automate the operation of your databases.
12:00 - 13:00🥪 Lunch Break
13:00 - 14:00
Scheduling and Resource Management
You'll learn how to optimally distribute resources in Kubernetes and choose the right scheduling algorithm. We show you how Kubernetes distributes applications on Nodes and how to maximize application performance. You'll work with DaemonSets and Job Controllers for specific workload types.
14:00 - 16:00
Gateway API, Ingress Alternatives and Service Mesh
You'll learn the Gateway API 1.4 as the modern successor to the Ingress API and understand the differences (HTTPRoute, Gateway vs. classic Ingress). You'll compare NGINX alternatives: Traefik (Kubernetes-native service discovery) and Caddy (automatic HTTPS, zero config), both with Gateway API support. For service mesh, you'll compare Istio (comprehensive features) vs. Linkerd (lightweight) and configure Network Policies for Pod isolation.
