Hands-on training, built around your stack
We train engineering teams on the tools and practices we use on client platforms every day. Sessions run on site or remotely, from a two-hour session to a five-day bootcamp, and work through your own setup, not a generic syllabus. Send us the topic and the size of your team, and within two working days we will come back with a draft agenda and a price.
Tell us what your team needsWhat we can train your team on
- Kubernetes, from first deployments to day-two operations
- Platform engineering and developer self-service
- Running virtual machines on Kubernetes
- Moving legacy applications into containers
- Cloud cost optimisation
- AI-assisted engineering with coding agents
How our training works
Every team starts from a different place, so we shape the training around where yours is today.
A sample day: Kubernetes fundamentals
- One day
- On site or remote
- Hands-on exercises
- From £500 per person
This is day two of a three-day workshop we have run for developers, which goes from Docker, to Kubernetes, to packaging with Helm. Each day also works on its own, and we change the topics and the pace to fit your team.
Why Kubernetes exists
What container orchestration is for, and the problems Kubernetes solves.
Kubernetes key concepts
The core building blocks, and how they fit together to run an application.
Deploying your first microservice
The first hands-on session: deploying a small application and making it reachable.
Hands-on Kubernetes resources
Health checks, resource limits, configuration, storage, and updates, working through each in turn.
Putting it all together
Deploying a complete application made of several parts, and controlling how those parts talk to each other.
Your team will leave able to
- Deploy and update an application on Kubernetes
- Keep the app healthy and within its resources
- Configure the app without rebuilding its image
- Control the traffic which reaches the app, and the traffic between its parts
Teams we have trained
We have run Kubernetes training for engineering teams at companies including Maersk, JCDecaux, AJ Bell, Vonage, and Numatic. At Leaseweb, a five-day bootcamp prepared 25 engineers to support its new managed Kubernetes service product.
Our work with Siemens began with Kubernetes training at Mentor Graphics, now part of Siemens. Siemens Digital Industries went on to run its core infrastructure on a multi-cloud Kubernetes platform which we designed and built, then supported for six years, by which point it had grown to 200+ clusters across AWS, Azure, and VMware on premises.
Packaged courses
Some of our training comes as a ready-made course, with its own starting point for teams who want to try it first.
Questions about training
Anything we have not covered? Leave us a quick message.
How much does training cost?
Training starts from £500 per person per day, with a minimum of three people. The final price depends on the topic and how long it runs. Tell us what your team needs, and within two working days we will send you a draft agenda and a price, so you have something concrete.
How many people can take part?
Anything from a handful of engineers to a whole team at your site. We can also host up to 10 engineers in our London office.
What does my team need to know beforehand?
Nothing in particular. Before the training, we agree a starting point with you, and pitch the material at the level your team is at today.
Can the training use our own systems?
Yes. We can work in your own codebase or a non-production cluster, or use a sandbox so nothing touches your systems.
Do we need to book an introductory call first?
No. Leave us a quick message with the topic and the size of your team, and we will take it from there.
