Top 5 Kubernetes and Docker Container Training-Certification Recommendations

Colleagues, according to Data Bridge Market Research the application container market will grow at a CAGR of 32.85% for the forecast period of 2022-2029.  Therefore, the application container market value would stand tall by USD 22.67 billion by 2029.  The Global Knowledge IT Skills and Salary Report (2021) includes two positions from the virtualization and containerization domains among its Top 15 Certification list: VCP-DVC - VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization ($132,947) and CCA-V - Citrix Certified Associate - Virtualization  ($115,308). Our first pick is Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) - Containers: describing what Kubernetes is, and last, Kubernetes Deployment options and setting up a lab environment are discussed, Kubernetes Essentials," teaches concepts that are extremely important for passing the CKAD exam including the Kubernetes API,, building and Exposing Scalable Applications with ConfigMaps and troubleshooting, and Sample certification exams. Next, is Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) - Cluster Hardening, System Hardening, Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities, Supply Chain Security,  Monitoring, Logging and Runtime Security. Third, Docker Containers - install Docker on standard Linux or specialized container operating systems, set-up a private Docker Registry, creating, running, and investigating Docker images and containers, pull and push containers between local systems and Docker Registries, integrate Docker containers with host networking and storage, orchestrate multiple containers into complex applications with Kubernetes, and build a Docker container to simplify application deployment. Fourth, Docker Orchestration and Microservices - designing web apps as microservices, use Docker to containerize your microservices, leverage modern Docker orchestration tools to aid in both developing and deploying your applications, and se Google’s container orchestration platform Kubernetes, and interpret the modern DevOps and container orchestration landscape. And finally, Modern Container-Based DevOps: Managing Microservices using Kubernetes and Docker - build their own full microservice running on Kubernetes, the concept of microservices, explaining fundamentals and other components in IT that play a vital role in obtaining a microservices architecture. It then covers how to use Git, and work with and manage containers using Docker as well as Podman on RHEL 8.
