❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Docker experience?

Basic Docker understanding is helpful but not mandatory. We’ll cover the essential container concepts you need for Kubernetes. If you’re new to Docker, we recommend reviewing basic Docker commands before the workshop.

Will we work with real cloud providers?

Yes! We’ll explore GKE, EKS, and AKS options. You’ll primarily work with Minikube for exercises, but we’ll demonstrate cloud deployments and discuss best practices for each platform.

What if I can’t attend live sessions?

Online attendees receive recordings of all sessions. However, we strongly recommend live attendance for the hands-on exercises and real-time troubleshooting support.

Is this workshop suitable for beginners?

Yes, if you meet the prerequisites (Linux command line, basic text editor skills). We start from Kubernetes fundamentals and build up progressively. The hands-on approach ensures everyone learns by doing.

Do you offer corporate training?

Yes! We offer customized corporate training sessions tailored to your team’s needs. Contact us for group discounts and custom scheduling options.
