Workshop Details

What makes this workshop stand out

What you will learn and take away

  • You build production-ready images with Multi-Stage Builds, Distroless, and Hadolint, analyze layers with Dive, and scan vulnerabilities with Trivy and Docker Scout.
  • You orchestrate multi-service applications with Docker Compose (database, load balancer, monitoring) and migrate them to Kubernetes Deployments with Services, ConfigMaps, and Secrets.
  • You configure self-healing (LivenessProbe, ReadinessProbe), high availability with ReplicaSets and deployment strategies (Rolling Update, Canary, Blue-Green). You learn the fundamentals for operating in cloud environments (EKS, AKS, GKE) and on-premise infrastructures.

You differentiate yourself through modern tooling knowledge (K9s, Krew, Native Sidecars) and understand the architecture (CRI, CNI, CSI) behind Kubernetes. Advanced topics: Kubernetes Advanced (DW3), CKAD Certification (DW5).

Why the investment pays off

Your team loses days with incompatible development environments, inconsistent deployments, and manual scaling processes. This workshop reduces onboarding time from weeks to days, reduces deployment errors by 70% through standardized container processes, and lowers infrastructure costs through efficient resource utilization (server consolidation, automatic scaling).

You receive immediately applicable skills: Your developers build secure images, your ops teams orchestrate production-ready clusters, and your architects understand cloud-native deployment strategies. After five days, your teams deploy applications with self-healing, rolling updates, and persistent storage.

Return on investment: A team with container knowledge shortens release cycles, minimizes downtime through automated recovery, and scales applications without manual intervention. The bundle combines Docker Basics (DW1) and Kubernetes Introduction (DW2) in a continuous learning path while saving costs compared to individual bookings.

"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."
