Course Overview
Modern cloud-native applications rely on container orchestration platforms to deploy, scale, and manage workloads efficiently. Kubernetes has become the industry standard for managing containerised applications across cloud and hybrid environments.
This mentor-led programme introduces the practical administration skills required to manage Kubernetes clusters and deploy containerised applications. Learners explore core concepts including pods, services, ingress controllers, configuration management, and secrets used in real Kubernetes environments.
Through guided practical scenarios, participants learn how to operate Kubernetes clusters, troubleshoot deployment issues, and maintain application reliability. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how to manage Kubernetes workloads and support platform operations in modern cloud-native infrastructure.
