                                      *This course is intended to help you prep for the certification exam.*

                   CKA: Certified Kubernetes Administrator & CKAD: Certified Kubernetes Application Developer

Important Info:

This training is created for anyone who has no knowledge on Docker and Kubernetes. To take this course you need to have basic knowledge on Linux. In This course I will teach you slowly but surely all the concepts by explaining the base or the ground level, which is required to understand the bigger picture. Please place your trust in me and come with a fresh mind to learn. You should have a laptop with attest 8 – 16 GB of Ram to have a setup like mine. Its recommended to have 16 GB of RAM to get it working fast.
