Description
Training objectives:
- Learn an overview of the virtualization concepts (virtual machines and containers);
- Learn the usage of Kubernetes to orchestrate and scale a containerized application;
- Learn the advanced topics of creating and managing Kubernetes clusters.
Structure and presentations:
The training length is 3 days, 6 hours / day. In the first two days we learn the introductory and medium topics, in the 3rd day we learn the advanced topics. Note : the specified duration is our minimum recommended duration, which allows us to work on a few examples together with the participants. For more thorough practice, greater hands-on experience and added use-case analyses, we recommend to allocate at least 25-30% more time for the training.
Each session will consist in a theoretical and practical (hands-on) part. Depending on the presented topic, the ratio between the theoretical and the practical parts are varying from ~70 / 30% to ~50 / 50%. We will have a break at each ~50 minutes. Depending on their complexity and on the questions and discussions, some sessions may take more or less than 50 minutes.
Disclaimer:
If the discussions and the hands-on sessions will prolong more than anticipated, some sessions will be postponed on the following day. Our intent is to cover the sessions thoroughly , not in a rushed mode..
