Kubernetes for App Developers (CKAD)

Kubernetes for App Developers

When your company prepares to use Kubernetes, the high-velocity, open-source orchestration tool, to deploy, scale, and update containerised applications, it will be up to you, the developer, to implement K8, and keep things running smoothly.

Container Solutions, a Linux Foundation Authorized Training Partner (ATP), is pleased to offer you the help you’ll need, with The Linux Foundation – Kubernetes for App Developers (LFD459) course.

Description

This intensive, classroom-based, hands-on course will help prepare you for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam. It will teach you how to containerize, host, deploy, and configure an application in a multi-node cluster.
