Program

AKS curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Theme: Introduction to AKS and cluster preparation (Azure CLI, Azure Portal, networking)

The participants discover the fundamentals of Azure Kubernetes Service through practical exercises. They create their first AKS cluster, configure networking and identities with Azure AD. Concrete enterprise cases illustrate best practices for sizing. At the end of the day, each learner has a functional cluster and a configuration report.

Module 2 : Theme: Deploying containerized applications on AKS (Docker, Kubernetes manifests)

This day is dedicated to packaging and deploying applications with Docker and Kubernetes on AKS. Learners build images, push them to Azure Container Registry and deploy them via manifests. Practical exercises cover managing volumes, secrets and configurations. A complete microservices deliverable is produced by the end of the day.

Module 3 : Theme: Advanced orchestration and scalability with AKS (Helm, autoscaling, monitoring)

Participants deepen their orchestration skills with Helm and native AKS features. They deploy Helm charts, configure horizontal autoscaling and integrate Azure Monitor. Real enterprise scenarios demonstrate how to ensure high availability. Each learner delivers a scalable and monitored environment.

Module 4 : Theme: Security and governance on AKS (Azure Policy, RBAC, network policies)

Security is at the core of this day. Learners implement RBAC, network policies and Azure Policy to secure AKS clusters. Practical workshops simulate attacks and responses. They produce an audit report and recommendations tailored to their enterprise.

Module 5 : Theme: CI/CD and continuous optimization on AKS (Azure DevOps, GitOps, Helm)

The final day focuses on automating deployments with Azure DevOps and GitOps practices. Participants build complete pipelines, integrate Helm and optimize costs. A final end-to-end project is presented and evaluated, providing a production-ready deliverable.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your AKS training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
