Course Overview
Kubernetes is a powerful container management tool that's taking the world by storm. This detailed course will help you master it. In this course, you'll start with the fundamentals of Kubernetes and what the main components of a cluster look like. You'll then learn how to use those ...
How You'll Learn
Hands-on coding environments
You don’t get better at swimming by watching others. Coding is no different. Practice as you learn with live code environments inside your browser.
Faster than videos
Videos are holding you back. The average video tutorial is spoken at 150 words per minute, while you can read at 250. That‘s why our courses are text-based.
No set-up required
Start learning immediately instead of fiddling with SDKs and IDEs. It‘s all on the cloud.
Progress you can show
Built in assessments let you test your skills. Completion certificates let you show them off.
