"I passed the exam and certified CKAD now. I didn't passed at the first attempt. Second time, I found  this course on official page k8s and did practice all the labs. Honestly, labs are very challenging and great for the CKAD!" Dave, 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 Deployment.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the 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 deploy applications on Kubernetes effectively.

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 illustration help you understand complex concepts easily.

"Passed with a 70%, next up CKA​. Your teaching style is great​!" Colin, Student


                                                                                                     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 to get fast and to practice. That is what our integrated hands-on lab experience gives you. Our coding quizzes can be accessed right in your browser without having to set up any lab environment yourself. We validate your work and give you feedback instantly. Preview a few lab exercises for Free!!


"I completed my certification 75% on second attempt. Thanks to @Mumshad Mannambeth and others who helped me out.​" Murali, Student


After you have completed the lectures and coding exercises, you will have the opportunity to complete a series of assignments that put your new skills to the test. You will be given the challenge to solve using the Kubernetes skills you have learned.

This will give you real-world experience and the chance to work with other students in the community. You will develop a Kubernetes deployment and get feedback for your work.


"Finally i passed ckad exam, my hearty thanks to @Mumshad Mannambeth, for his courses and guidance...it was helpful for me in the exam​" - Anish Seelan, Student

Last part, introduced for changed exam after Sept 2021, is not very coherent. All in all a good course.

The lab is not loading even after multiple retries, seems like we are wasting time between multiple retries

major difference between replication controller and replicaset was missing or non understaing. this point can be improved.

Absolutely excellent way of explaining complex topics in a simple manner. I like the visual presentations used to show similarities between the manifest for deployments and pods, jobs & pods and now single ingress resource and multiple path based ingress resources

Highly recommended for anyone wanting to pass CKAD. This course is clear, well-organized and gives all explanations that I did not get when going through the training provided my the training portal of the linux foundation. Also the hands-on lab is awesome!

I am finding it to be comprehensive and with easy explanations so far. I hope it is maintained throughout the course and I complete this course with valuable and useful knowledge in the end.

Overall, I think this course is a really great, but there are a few issues. As I am a non-native English speaker, there are some instructors who speak too fast and have unclear pronunciation, making me difficult to listen. Also, when I turn on the subtitles, they overlap with the content and make it impossible to see the content. This is very frustrating me. I was concerned about the different volume of the lectures.

I cleared my exam CKAD yesterday This course is amazing and it helped me a lot in preparing the exam and reviewing the concept of Kubernetes

Pretty much what the rating says: "Good, what I expected". I'm writing this after the LimitResource video and I'm glad you gave a clear description of how resource requests and limits work together. EDIT: This course has given me a lot more than what I expected. Lovely use of real world case scenarios like monitoring and logging.
