Introduction

The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Training course provides comprehensive training aligned with the official CKA certification domains. Throughout the program, students learn to install, manage, and secure Kubernetes clusters, as well as deploy applications and troubleshoot issues through hands-on practice.

The training covers everything from cluster architecture, networking, storage, workload deployment, to troubleshooting application and cluster component issues, providing comprehensive and practical preparation for performing Kubernetes administration roles in production environments.

Addressed to

This course is geared towards:

• System administrators who need to manage Kubernetes clusters in enterprise environments.
  
• DevOps teams responsible for automating deployments and ensuring operational continuity.
  
• Platform engineers, SREs, and IT professionals who work with containers and microservices.
  
• Candidates seeking to prepare for the official Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification.

Training objectives

Upon completion of the training, the student will be able to:

• Manage role-based access control (RBAC).
  
• Install Kubernetes clusters with kubeadm and manage them in high availability.
  
• Perform cluster version upgrades and run etcd backups and restores.
  
• Understand and manage deployments, rollouts, rollbacks, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and autoscaling.
  
• Manage self-healing applications and understand the impact of resource limits on scheduling.
  
• Configure networks, ClusterIP/NodePort/LoadBalancer services and Ingress Controllers.
  
• Manage persistent storage, volumes, reclaim policies, and persistent volume claims.
  
• Diagnose failures in applications, nodes, cluster components, and network problems.
