DevOps training: Cloud native

With cloud native, your team can make your development truly DevOps-driven. It fosters intense collaboration between development and operations, and facilitates continuous experimentation. But for it to work, your teams needs to learn a wide range of subjects.

Docker, Kubernetes, containers in general - containers are key in cloud development, so we will base the program on the tooling you choose. And we can also include tools such as Istio service mesh, Kiali, Jaeger, and Helm in your training.

Take a massive leap forward on your team's container and orchestration journey, with our extensive training program.

Key reasons to train your teams on cloud native:

They will be able to package their software
They will create scalable and cloud-ready applications
They will understand what a service mesh is and why you would need one
They will be rolling out updates using deployments

Duration:

Half a day to five days, depending on the program

Type:

Mix of theory and hands-on exercises

Audience:

Developers, Architects, Site Reliability Engineers (SRE), DevOps Engineers

Let your team get cloud native right — like cloud natives

“In my experience, Eficode has a very clear vision of what today's technologies are and what they enable. At Eficode, they know how to tailor them (the trainings) to meet customer needs, and they don’t try to sell the product just for the sake of the product. They truly want the customer to benefit from it.”

Insufficient cloud native skills could be holding your team back

Shorten the time-to-market

Reducing the time it takes to roll out a product or feature to the market, gives you a significant competitive advantage.

Reduce costs

Cloud native computing is a different way for you to approach infrastructure, shifting budgets from expensive ecosystems into using cloud efficiently, and saving costs.

Make systems reliable, with less downtime

In cloud native development, you have a far higher level of security, because apps are designed with security in mind from the start. And properly designed cloud has well-thought-out recovery automation to decrease downtime.

Add scalability and flexibility

With cloud native systems, you suddenly have a totally new way to scale services. This creates a level of flexibility you can never dream of with traditional methods.

Modules your team's unique training course will be built with

We build the learning path for your team's and your organization's specific needs. At the very foundation, we use the below training modules. On top of that, we build the best possible learning experience.

Have a team that can build, integrate, and run containers, which will speed up your DevOps pipeline.

We will guide your team through a variety of hands-on exercises. They will quickly become seasoned users that fully understand the advantages of containerized software development and deployment. The team will also learn how to run, develop, and manage their own set of containers.

Have a team that fully understands how Kubernetes works and how to integrate your own applications with the Kubernetes platform.

The team will learn the basics of the Kubernetes cluster orchestration system. They will get the skills to deploy at scale, and confidently solve problems that may occur.

Ultimately, they will get a solid understanding of the Kubernetes architecture and building blocks. In the end, they will be fully ready to begin your cloud native journey.

Extend your team's cloud native skills in packaging, deploying, monitoring, and scaling your application in Kubernetes.

This course will teach your team to take a container-based application, and enhance it with cloud native tooling.

They will learn how to package the application with Helm charts, monitor it with Prometheus and Grafana, and autoscale it using both built-in and custom metrics. As part of the exercises, the team will also learn how to deploy the Prometheus/Grafana monitoring stack.

Give your team the right skills to use the Istio service mesh’s traffic management, telemetry, and security features for your complex deployments.

Working with Kubernetes or (micro)service-based architectures could include working with a service mesh. This is because a service-based architecture has its own set of challenges, which a service mesh can help you solve.

With practical, hands-on exercises, your team will learn the features of the most popular service mesh today: Istio. The team will also become familiar with observing mesh traffic with Kiali, and distributed tracing in a mesh with Jaeger.

Make sure your team knows how to make application deployment easy, standardized, and reusable with Helm.

Using Helm charts
Packaging containerized applications, using parameterized Helm charts for easier customization and reuse
Learning best practices for templating and sharing Helm charts
Defining Helm tests, and test deployments with Helm test, CI/CD, and GitOps

Installing, upgrading, and maintaining Kubernetes applications natively can be cumbersome and error-prone. With Helm from CNCF, you group Kubernetes objects together in logical releases and handle them as a singular instance. This makes application deployment easy, standardized and reusable, which in turn improves developer productivity, and reduces deployment complexity.

Give your team the skills to secure your APIs and web applications with modern, industry-standard frameworks.

The importance of security in software cannot be emphasized enough. But implementing security properly can be difficult. In this course your team will learn how to implement authentication and authorization, using the industry standard frameworks OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2.

The team will also learn the inner workings of these technologies, to digest and debug authentication and authorization issues.
