"I have compared this to other courses at Udemy and Linux Academy. All have the strengths and gaps, so far this is a winner!" - Thomas Trauss, Student
Learning Kubernetes is essential for any DevOps professional. DevOps engineers are always in demand. Currently, the average Silicon Valley salary for a DevOps engineer is 20% higher than what a software engineer makes. DevOps engineers make an average of $140,000 to $200,000 annually. And One of the most in-demand skills is Kubernetes Administration.
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Simplify Complex Technology
Kubernetes is at the cutting-edge of application deployment. To elevate your DevOps career, learn how to effectively deploy applications on Kubernetes.
This course helps you gain the knowledge required to design and deploy cloud-native applications on a Kubernetes cluster. A series of well-designed lectures with animation and illustrations help you understand complex concepts easily.
Practice! Practice! Practice!
Lectures alone won’t help you clear the certification. The Kubernetes Certification is a practical hands-on exam. You need hands-on experience, you need to get fast and you need practice.

Reviews
So far, it is informative. I wish the pre-requisite to take the Docker for beginners was mentioned when I purchased these two courses. I would have included that one as well. My manager would not approve the additional course as a separate purchase.
The course is perfect for anyone giving CKA certification. The labs & tests give enough practice for the certification. The concepts are explained clearly and are precise for the certification curriculum. The course is designed in such a way that a beginner level person can gain Kubernetes knowledge & clear the certification with flying colors. Thank you so much, Mumshad Mannambeth, Udemy & KodeKloud Team for the excellent course.
So far so good. Excellent labs, clear course, metaphors are used in every new concept to teach them, the exam is clearly a focused on this course
The course is is laid out very nicely, and progresses in an organized manner. The analogies used are to the point and greatly helps to understand the concepts. Thank you
This training is really great for you to fully understand Kubernetes and pass the exam! Also labs and the fact that you can have a k8s cluster for you to play and tests is really great! Best 12euros ever invested in my life!
I passed the CKA exam on the first try with a 99%, and the only thing I used to prepare was this course. The interactive labs are far better than any other online course I have taken as they truly make you do the work and then check it to make sure it's been done correctly, step by step. I passed the CKAD exam as well using Mumshad's CKAD prep course.
Too much video, too little text. With text, it's so easy to skim over stuff you already know or don't need, as you see it all before your very eyes. In videos, you cannot easily skip parts. You can skip forward at most about 15 seconds and then you have to watch for some time to see what this part is about and to be sure you don't miss anything important.
It's a wonderful course all topics covered along with well versed practical labs. Best add on provided by kodekloud is slack channel where we can clarify doubts during the practical tests. I gave this review after successfully completing CKA. Follow each and every lecture provided by kodekloud instructor MM.
Really enjoyed this course. Well delivered and the practical exercises were great. Will book the exam soon.
Excellent. Sets new benchmark for on-demand learning course. Great illustration. Engaging. Well explained.
Clear diagram and animation to illustrate the concept. The lab is good hand on to try out the kube command despite minor hicups on some of lab session
Recommend taking this along with the CKA course provided by Linux Foundation. This course is amazing! Not only is this course building confidence for the CKA but making me better in the actual performance of using Kubernetes.
Deliver complicated concepts in simple and clear fashion. Highly recommending those who have weak core concepts of how K8S works to register this course for a thorough understanding.
Excellent content and presentation. The whole learning experience has been brilliant. Motivated me to keep going.
Let me frankly tell you that this course is designed in a unique and comprehensive manner that is by far the best. Moreover, the best part of this course that you get to test your knowledge via the labs for every topic. The entire course is easy to understand, very simple language but highly effective from the learner’s point of view. There is a natural flow supported with analogies, examples, practical demonstration & links to important documents to make it even more interesting. I'd highly recommended this course to everyone for getting the CKA certification.
