This three-day instructor-led class introduces participants to deploying and managing containerized applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and the other services provided by Google Cloud. Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, participants explore and deploy solution elements, including infrastructure components such as pods, containers, deployments, and services; as well as networks and application services. This course also covers deploying practical solutions including security and access management, resource management, and resource monitoring.

The method of training and delivery via Zoom was excellent. The Labs were very well planned and organized. The material could have been organized a little better.
Attended a Power BI class in McLean with this company. The instructor (Mike Staves) was very good and attentive to the groups' learning needs. The facility was very good and the staff was more than accommodating.
AZ-300 course experience was good . Eylem Uysal was very good, the best instructor and i had really good experience attending course and classes with Eylem.
The course was a good crash course in the subject of AWS and a really good beginning in the field.
Just finished up a course taught by Sean Mohseni. Excellent instructor. If you can find a course he's teaching, its well worth it.
