New CKA batch starts from Dec 7th
This Kubernetes Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) batch is designed for IT professionals who want to build strong, real-world Kubernetes expertise. Whether you are a system administrator, DevOps engineer, cloud engineer, or someone transitioning into container orchestration, this course is ideal for anyone who wants hands-on skills to manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters.
Students will learn core Kubernetes concepts including cluster architecture, API objects, scheduling, security, networking, storage, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management. Each topic is aligned with the official CKA exam blueprint to ensure full coverage of all required competencies.
Along with theory, I provide extensive hands-on labs for every module so students can practise commands, build clusters, deploy workloads, debug issues, and gain the confidence needed for the exam. These labs simulate real industry scenarios, helping learners understand how Kubernetes works in real environments.
This batch ensures you learn, practise, and become fully exam-ready.
