Engineers with the listed foundations who want to deepen this skill or apply it in a different stack.
Starting point: IntermediateCloud & DevOps · Corporate training
Sample curriculum
Kubernetes foundations
Learn the building blocks for deploying and operating containerized applications on Kubernetes.
- Intermediate
- Live online and in person
At a glance
Bring these foundations
- Docker containers, networking basics, and command-line experience.
Technologies & tools
- Kubernetes
- kubectl
- Docker
- Local cluster
A practical destination
Skills to practise.
The sample path works towards these capabilities. Final goals reflect your team’s starting point and agreed scope.
- 01
Connect workloads, services and cluster responsibilities.
- 02
Deploy an application with explicit configuration and resource needs.
- 03
Inspect reliability, access and rollout behaviour.
Sample curriculum
Follow the learning route.
Each module connects the concepts to practical work. Open a module to explore both.
01Module 1Cluster foundations
Concepts to understand
- Cluster architecture and namespaces
- Pods and declarative manifests
- kubectl inspection and debugging
Practical work
Inspect a cluster and explain how pods, deployments and services connect. Trace a request to a running workload.
Show the result. Explain one decision. Identify what you would improve.
02Module 2Deploying applications
Concepts to understand
- Deployments and replica management
- Services and application networking
- Configuration and secrets
Practical work
Deploy a sample application with configuration and secrets handled separately. Inspect its resource requests and network access.
Show the result. Explain one decision. Identify what you would improve.
03Module 3Application reliability
Concepts to understand
- Readiness and liveness probes
- Resource requests and limits
- Persistent storage concepts
Practical work
Add health checks and test a rollout or failed pod. Explain what the platform restarts and what the application must handle.
Show the result. Explain one decision. Identify what you would improve.
04Module 4Operations
Concepts to understand
- Rolling updates and rollback
- Logs, events, and failure investigation
- Access controls and deployment review
Practical work
Investigate an unavailable workload using events, logs and access checks. Review rollout recovery and operational responsibilities.
Show the result. Explain one decision. Identify what you would improve.
A sample project
Bring the skills together.
Deploy a sample application with service exposure, configuration, health probes, and a rolling update.
Shorter engagements can focus on selected exercises. A larger, learner-owned capstone can be scoped for a longer programme.
Review the work & reasoning
Four useful questions.
- 01
Does the work meet the agreed requirements?
- 02
Can the learner explain the key decisions and trade-offs?
- 03
What happens with invalid input, failure or an unexpected condition?
- 04
What would they change or explore next?
