Advanced Kubernetes Training for CKAD certification


Details
This is a free 3 day in-person training course that will take place on Friday afternoons in the Bitnami Seville office, during September and October. It provides you with the knowledge and practical skills you need to deploy production-ready apps on Kubernetes. This training will also give you the required abilities that you will need in order to pass the CNCF Kubernetes Application Developer certification:
- Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) https://www.cncf.io/certification/expert/cka/ckad/
During this 3 day course, you will be learning an enormous amount of material, and there will be some take-home exercises after each session. Given that there is a limited amount of seats available for the course we are requesting applicants to make sure they will be able to attend all the sessions and devote the time to do the exercises.

There is a limited amount of space, and we expect a large amount of candidates (based on previous courses). We will need to perform a selection. Please only apply if you will be able to attend all 3 days of the class. You can do so by filling out the form below.

Why is Bitnami Doing This?
We have been working with cloud / Kubernetes for a long time and have a lot of knowledge to share. Based on feedback from previous meetups, we organized an advanced Kubernetes training that was very well received, so we decided to expand on the idea. This is also a great opportunity to get to know and interact with the Bitnami team as well as with other members of the local Kubernetes community. We also have a number of roles open in our Sevilla office, this is a great way to get to know each other.
Requirements
You need to have a solid knowledge of Linux administration in general and containers/Docker in particular. As this is a fast-paced training, it is strongly recommended to have previous experience with Kubernetes.
