Upon completion of the training, participants will possess a solid grasp of how to build, deploy, monitor, and sustain resilient distributed systems within a Kubernetes-based ecosystem.

Gain a solid grounding in containers, Kubernetes, and OpenShift through practical, hands-on training designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals. Participants will learn how to construct containerized applications, deploy workloads, manage Kubernetes resources, and utilise OpenShift to streamline modern application delivery within cloud and hybrid environments.

Learn how to build, deploy, and administer containerised environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift. This five-day, hands-on training covers container images, Kubernetes workloads, cluster networking, storage, security, monitoring, and practical OpenShift administration. Participants gain the skills needed to operate modern container platforms and troubleshoot applications across development and production environments.

In this instructor-led live training in Botswana (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to create and manage Docker containers, then deploy a sample application inside a container. Participants will also learn how to automate, scale, and manage their containerized applications within a Kubernetes cluster. Finally, the training goes on to more advanced topics, walking participants through the process of securing, scaling and monitoring a Kubernetes cluster.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up and run a Docker container.
• Deploy a containerized server and web application.
• Build and manage Docker images.
• Set up a Docker and Kubernetes cluster.
• Use Kubernetes to deploy and manage a clustered web application.
• Secure, scale and monitor a Kubernetes cluster.
