Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
Two months of hands-on practice for a hands-on exam
A two-month classroom course that follows the five domains of the Linux Foundation's CKAD exam, on Kubernetes v1.37: application design and build, application deployment, observability and maintenance, environment, configuration and security, and services and networking. The exam is two hours of tasks on a live cluster, so the course is taught the same way. The exam fee is not included.
