Kubernetes Training: Kubernetes for Application Developers

Who is this training for?

The training is designed for developers and software engineers who want to deepen their knowledge of Kubernetes and learn the best practices for deploying monolithic architectures and/or microservices.

About SIGHUP

SIGHUP is a Cloud-Native company funded in 2017 and vertically focused on Kubernetes. We are heavily focused on running Kubernetes in production and enabling organizations to adopt upstream, CNCF-based, OSS technologies.
