What prior knowledge is required?

Basic Linux and command line knowledge. Docker experience helpful but not mandatory.

Can we train on our own cluster?

Yes, for in-house trainings we can use your infrastructure. Alternatively, we provide training clusters.

How large should groups be?

Maximum 12 people for optimal hands-on support. For larger teams: multiple training sessions.

What does Kubernetes training cost?

In-house: from €4,000/day. Open: from €1,500/person for 3 days.

Kubernetes Training: From Docker Containers to Production Clusters

Kevin KrögerTraining & Workshops

Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration — and one of the most complex technologies in modern IT. Without proper training, K8s projects quickly fail. Our training is radically practical: Every concept is immediately applied. After 3 days, your team manages K8s clusters independently.

From Docker to Kubernetes: The right progression

Docker is the foundation — Kubernetes works on top. Our training doesn't assume Docker knowledge: we start with containers, images, registries, and networks. Then from Pods to Deployments to Services. This ensures everyone's on the same page, regardless of prior experience.

Training content: Everything for productive K8s

Day 1: Docker basics, image building, Docker Compose, Kubernetes architecture. Day 2: Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Persistent Volumes. Day 3: Helm, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, logging, security, CI/CD. Every module: 30% theory, 70% hands-on. Participants build a complete application in a real cluster.

Managed K8s vs. self-hosted: Decision support

EKS, AKS, GKE vs. self-hosted — the decision has enormous implications for costs, maintenance, and flexibility. In the training, we analyze the options for your specific use case. Our experience: For most mid-sized companies, managed K8s is the right choice. Self-hosted only makes sense when you have a dedicated platform team.

Conclusion

Kubernetes training is the prerequisite for successful container orchestration. Without, you're driving a race car without a license — fast but dangerous.
