🚀 Kubernetes for Application Developers (CKAD Prep) – Part 1

"We patch Kernels and Feelings."

Take the mystery out of Kubernetes. Kubernetes for Application Developers – Part 1 is a fully hands-on, instructor-led course designed to give you a solid foundation in working with Kubernetes as a developer. No prior cluster experience required—if you can work with containers, you can start here.

Over 15 hours of guided training, you’ll learn how to deploy, configure, and manage applications in a real Kubernetes environment. You’ll practice everything inside a live training lab that mirrors professional clusters, so every command you type builds confidence you can take back to your team.

This course maps directly to the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) objectives, but without the jargon or gatekeeping. Think of it as your on-ramp to both Kubernetes certification and practical, job-ready skills.
