Virtual Classroom

A convenient and interactive learning experience, that enables you to attend on of our courses from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can log on. We offer Virtual Classroom on selected live classroom courses where this will appear as an option under the location drop down if available. These can also be booked as Private Virtual Classrooms for exclusive business sessions.

Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

From understanding container basics through to deploying applications, we’ll help show you how to get started with Google Kuberbetes Engine.

Jellyfish has been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this one-day course. The day will start with an introduction to containers, Docker, and the Google Container Registry.

You’ll learn to how to containerize workloads in Docker containers, deploy them to Kubernetes clusters provided by Google Kubernetes Engine, and scale those workloads to handle increased traffic.

We’ll also cover how to continuously deploy new code in a Kubernetes cluster to provide application updates.

This Getting started with Google Kubernetes Engine course is offered as a Virtual Classroom course, which will be hosted from the UK on British Summer Time (BST). It is also available as a private training session and can be delivered at our own training venues in the Rosebank Link, Johannesburg or Umhlanga, or any location of your choice.
