SIGHUP Kubernetes Training: Kubernetes for Application Developers

After years of experience with public and private workshops, SIGHUP decided to launch their own Public Training Classes: Kubernetes for Application Developers. SIGHUP Public Training Classes are designed to boost developers skills in Kubernetes and are open to company employees, freelancers and students.

Knowledge of Kubernetes is rapidly becoming indispensable in the job market as more and more companies understand the potential and the advantages of Cloud Native technologies.

However, handling Kubernetes means dealing with a complex system and being able to understand and use a wide range of context and tech tools. In fact, this set of skills is still only really at the disposal of a niche of developers and software engineers while companies need it to generate more business.

SIGHUP Training classes help us achieve our mission to enable every organization to adopt and maintain an operating model based on Kubernetes technologies as they give developers and engineers concrete skills in Kubernetes.

SIGHUP Trusted training partner

We consider Training a core part of our offering, so we have invested our time and energy in this field, gathering years of experience and achieving the official Kubernetes Training Partners (KTP) certification.

What does that mean, exactly?

This tier of vetted training providers means that we have proven deep experience in Cloud Native technology training. To become a KTP, companies need to meet specific requirements such as the ability to demonstrate strict benchmarks of experience and quality of the training, be an existing KCSP, have deep knowledge of Kubernetes and be actively involved in the community, and have CKA or CKAD qualified instructors.
