Developing Scalable Solutions with Kubernetes
Learning how to develop Kubernetes applications opens up a wide range of career opportunities in high-demand fields such as DevOps, cloud engineering, and containerization.
In this course, you’ll learn how to define application resources and use core Kubernetes primitives to build, monitor, and debug scalable applications—including working with network plugins, security features, and cloud storage for deployment in production environments.
This course—supplemented by hands-on exercises and self-study—will equip you with the skills and knowledge that are also tested on the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this Kubernetes training course
After this Kubernetes seminar, you’ll be able to containerize applications on your own and will be fully prepared for the CKAD exam.
- NApplication Containerization: You can confidently use Dockerfiles and container options.
- N You use core Kubernetes primitives—deployments, pods, and services—to build scalable applications.
- NDesigning containerized applications: You use sidecars, init containers, and jobs strategically.
- NYou have a thorough understanding of deployment configuration—including volumes, secrets, and ConfigMaps—as well as scaling and rollbacks.
- NSecurity concepts for applications: RBAC, admission controllers, and security contexts are part of everyday life.
- NTroubleshooting and Monitoring: You can identify problems in applications and on the network in a targeted manner.
Who is this Kubernetes training course intended for?
This Kubernetes workshop is designed for experienced application developers who want to containerize, host, deploy, and configure apps in a multi-node cluster.
Typical Participants
- Application Developer
- Backend Developer
- DevOps Engineer
- Cloud Engineer
- Software Architect
Requirements
Kubernetes Training
- Basic knowledge of using the Linux command line and editing files
- Familiarity with a programming language such as Python, Node.js, or Go
- Knowledge of cloud-native application concepts is helpful—for example, from the free “Introduction to Kubernetes” MOOC on edX

FAQs About the Kubernetes Training
Do you have any questions? Here are the most common answers.
How do the online training sessions work from a technical standpoint?
The online training sessions are held via Microsoft Teams. Questions can be asked at any time, either directly to the instructor or conveniently via the chat feature.
- The training session will not be recorded.
- A camera and microphone aren't required—but they're highly recommended for a lively discussion.
- Participation from behind a corporate firewall or via VPN is possible, provided that outbound HTTPS and SSH connections to the NETWAYS systems are permitted.
A technical check is not included as standard, but can be arranged on a case-by-case basis in advance if needed.
What are the technical requirements?
All you need to participate is a modern browser—Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Edge. You will also need:
- An SSH client
- Direct Internet access (in some courses, also via non-standard ports in addition to HTTP/HTTPS via ports 80/443)
How do the hands-on Kubernetes exercises work?
The exercises take place on dedicated virtual machines (VMs) in the NETWAYS Web Services training environment. The process follows a set pattern:
- The instructor introduces the topic.
- Participants work independently on practical tasks (e.g., installing or configuring services).
- Afterward, the results will be discussed together and any outstanding questions will be addressed.
There is a sample solution for each exercise in the handout.
Can I continue to use the training environment after the Kubernetes training course?
No, the training environment is available only during the course and will no longer be accessible afterward.
