Docker & K8s For Engineering Teams
We train engineers and teams to deploy software faster, more reliably, with more confidence, by leveraging container technologies and tooling when and where it makes sense.
What You'll Learn
Whether you're new to the container ecosystem, or are already using Docker or Kubernetes, we meet you where you are and bring your skills to the next level. Our courses cover Docker in development and production scenarios, both on premises and in the cloud. You will know how to containerize applications, and deploy and scale them on Docker or Kubernetes. Our advanced courses also cover operators, autoscaling, security, and stateful applications.
Requirements
Your team should have a basic understanding of Go, Docker, or Kubernetes. We will meet you where you are and bring your skills to the next level.

with: Jérôme Petazzoni
Course Description
This course will enable you to leverage Docker to build, ship, and run traditional and microservices applications in containers, both in local development and production environments. You will learn how to start/stop/manage containers with the Docker CLI, build optimized container images with Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, advanced BuildKit features, and more. You will also see how to set up repeatable development stacks of containers with Compose, and how to take them to production.
Course Outline
- Containers, images, layers, and other key concepts
- Building images with Dockerfiles
- Implementing efficient development workflows with Docker
- Exposing ports, connecting containers, and service discovery
- Managing container lifecycle, debugging, and troubleshooting
- Optimizing images to obtain faster builds, smaller images
- Advanced networking (network drivers …)
- Containers internals (namespaces, cgroups …)
- Leveraging BuildKit advanced features (e.g. multi-platform builds)

with: Jérôme Petazzoni
Course Description
This course covers advanced topics like security, capacity planning (including autoscaling), Kubernetes API extensions points (including operators and CRDs), and presents a number of popular operators. It is a great addition to the “Kubernetes Bootstrap”, but can also be taken independently by folks who have a bit of Kubernetes experience and are familiar with key concepts like Pods, Deployments, Services, working with YAML, and want to take their Kubernetes mastery to the next level.
Course Outline
- Isolating workloads with Network Policies
- Securing the k8s API: authentication, authorization, RBAC, Service Accounts
- Extending the k8s API: operators, CRDs, admission webhooks, aggregation layer
- Capacity planning with resources, limits, and quotas
- Dealing with resource pressure at node- and cluster-levels
- Autoscaling with HPA, HPAv2, custom metrics, and cluster autoscaling
- Deploying stateful/persistent applications (Stateful Sets, PV, PVC, Storage Classes)
- Presentation and analysis of to many popular operators (Sealed Secrets, cert-manager, Kyverno, and many more)
- Design considerations when writing operators

with: Nick Stogner
Course Description
Understanding and extending the Kubernetes control plane. The Kubernetes control plane is arguably the most successful orchestration engine ever built. This course will dive into how it works and the concepts behind why it’s so effective. We will demonstrate how anyone can extend the control plane with additional functionality by building a production-grade controller through a series of exercises. All concepts are communicated through live diagrams and reinforced through joint coding sessions. Most teams find this material useful to kickstart company-projects after the course. By the end of this course, you will have the tools necessary to detangle the set of pipelines, scripts, lambda functions, and cron jobs that orchestrate software at most companies.
Course Outline
- Control Plane Architecture
- Control Plane Concepts
- Custom Resources
- Controller Libraries
- Controller Configuration
- Controller Observability
- Controller Error Handling
- Controller Testing
- Deploying Controllers
- Kubernetes Object Lifecycle
- Kubectl
- Kubebuilder
- Wider OSS Ecosystem
