DevOps, Kubernetes & Cloud-Native Microservices

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, enterprises are shifting from traditional monolithic applications to cloud-native microservices architectures powered by DevOps and container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes. This 5-day corporate training program equips participants with hands-on experience in DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, and microservices design. The course bridges the gap between software development and operations, helping teams deliver software faster, more reliably, and at scale across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Objectives of the Training

Understand the principles and practices of DevOps culture and automation.
Learn the architecture and components of Kubernetes for container orchestration.
Design and deploy microservices-based applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
Implement continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
Explore observability, monitoring, and scaling strategies for cloud-native applications.

Prerequisites

Basic understanding of Linux command line and system administration.
Familiarity with software development and version control (Git).
Some exposure to cloud computing concepts (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is helpful.

What You Will Learn

DevOps fundamentals and best practices for collaboration and automation.
Docker containerization, image management, and orchestration.
Kubernetes components, deployment models, and management tools.
CI/CD automation using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
Designing, deploying, and scaling microservices in a cloud-native environment.
Monitoring, observability, and fault-tolerance for production-grade systems.

Target Audience

This program is designed for DevOps Engineers, Software Developers, System Administrators, Cloud Engineers, and Solution Architects aiming to modernize application delivery using Kubernetes and microservices. It is also suitable for technical managers and team leads overseeing digital transformation initiatives.

The project includes containerization, deployment automation, monitoring, and scaling. Teams will present their architecture demonstrating reliability, observability, and CI/CD integration.

Future Trends in DevOps, Kubernetes, and Cloud-Native Engineering

The future of DevOps lies in GitOps, serverless deployment, and AI-driven observability. Kubernetes continues to evolve as the de facto standard for orchestration, with new paradigms like Edge Kubernetes and Multi-Cluster Management shaping enterprise adoption. Cloud-native engineering is increasingly defined by automation, resilience, and zero-downtime delivery — empowering organizations to accelerate innovation while maintaining reliability and cost efficiency.
