 Everyone knows there are great career opportunities in IT but far fewer know where to start without already having experience in the industry. Cloud technologies are in especially high demand with hiring managers looking for cloud skills more than any other area. Those who do not already have work experience though or a portfolio of projects they have created themselves can struggle to get a foot in the door while companies continue to face talent shortages and look for ways to upskill current staff. That is why the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and the Linux Foundation have created the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate Certification, KCNA for short, which demonstrates a candidate has conceptual knowledge of the cloud native ecosystem particularly focusing on Kubernetes. To gain the skills necessary to both pass this certification exam and to be successful in an entry-level cloud role we have developed the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Essentials training course. The course provides an overview of cloud native technologies and then dives into container orchestration. Participants will review the high-level architecture of Kubernetes, understand the challenges of container orchestration and how to deliver and monitor applications in distributed environments. The course also discusses how container orchestration differs from legacy environments and provides other knowledge necessary to begin working in a cloud role.
