Kubernetes Monitoring (K9-MON)

Kubernetes Monitoring covers tools and practices for observing, tracking, and alerting on the health and performance of Kubernetes clusters and workloads.

Description

This training introduces observability in Kubernetes and its role in maintaining system reliability. Participants will learn to deploy and configure monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana, create alerting rules, and build operational dashboards.

The course covers monitoring cluster resources, implementing centralized logging, and troubleshooting issues using observability data. Designed for system administrators, cloud administrators, SREs, and DevOps engineers, with theory, case studies, quizzes, and hands-on labs. Kubernetes knowledge is recommended.

Why Take This Course?

  • Simplify Kubernetes Management

    Learn how to use Rancher to efficiently deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications with ease.

  • Optimize Cloud Resources and Security

    Gain insights into resource management, automation, and security best practices to make your Kubernetes environments more effective.

  • Boost Your Cloud Operations Skills

    Acquire practical skills that make you confident in managing container applications and optimizing cloud-native workflows.

Facilities

  • Hands-on Lab Environment – Train using dedicated virtual machines with full access to lab resources via Jumpserver (RDP & SSH), enabling real-world practice throughout the training.
  • Downloadable Lab Environment – Continue practicing after the training with our VM Lab Downloader (.qcow2), allowing you to run the lab environment on your own machine.
