What Kubernetes is used for
Kubernetes (k8s) is a system for automatic container management. It starts, scales, and recovers applications itself when they go down.
Suitable for any cloud and its servers. Facilitates microservices, speeds up updates and makes applications more stable. An indispensable tool for DevOps.

Reviews from our graduates
This course gave me structured knowledge on Kubernetes, which I immediately applied at work. Especially useful were the labs with real cases. The instructors are practitioners who know all the pitfalls and teach not only theory but also how to avoid mistakes.
Mikhail, DevOps Engineer
After the course I was able to set up GitLab CI/CD for our project on my own. The course is very accessible, even complicated topics become clear. A special plus is the breakdown of monitoring via Prometheus and Grafana, now we have everything under control in our company!
Alina, SRE Specialist
The best course on Helm and templating I've ever seen. The instructor showed not only basic things, but also advanced tricks for optimizing manifests. Now I can quickly deploy applications in different environments without headaches.
Artem, Cloud Engineer
I was afraid that I would fail, but the material is presented from simple to complex, and the support of mentors at every stage is just invaluable. The course helped me to get from zero to a level where I can already participate in real projects. Thanks for the practical approach!
Ekaterina, Junior DevOps
