By KubeCologne 2020 we'll provide 2 different courses in parallel for beginners and advanced users. It is a 2 days hands-on Kubernetes intensive workshop taking place on September 2nd and 3rd before the main conference day on Wednesday, September 4th, covering basic to advanced Kubernetes topics with an in-depth Kubernetes Implemenation Training. We'll start with deploying Kubernetes, OpenShift or Rancher Kubernetes Engine on AWS, Azure, GCP or bare-metal and learn Kubernetes by doing.

After this 2 days hands-on with the basic workshop you should be able to run Kubenrnetes in production and lay the ground for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and / or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exams.

The advanced workshop is targeted to those users who work already with Kubernetes in practice and would need to extend their knowledge and gain more insights how to apply best practices and new technics for their daily work.

Trainers

The workshops will be held by certified kubernetes administrators and application developers who are working on large scale Kubernetes implementations in various industry sectors.
