Introduction to Kubernetes - a 2-Day Workshop

We are a Microsoft Azure Gold Partner offering an extensive range of Cloud Services: from audits through Cloud Migration and Cloud Architecture consulting. We are also the fastest growing technology company according to the Financial Times. We offer a 2-day workshop centered around the build and components of Kubernetes - also known as K8s - with a particular focus on the specifics of Azure Kubernetes Service. In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• the basics of how a cluster is built and organised internally;
• the mechanics behind Kubernetes and how to use them to your advantage;
• the limitations of K8s and how to account for them in your projects;
• why we state that the orchestrated system is scalable, lasting, reliable and accessible.

The workshop is available to individuals and groups, and it’s a perfect introduction to more advanced trainings from our offer.
