Why this program matters

  • Companies that fail to master AKS expose themselves to costly outages and major security breaches.

  • According to Gartner, 65% of container production incidents stem from inadequate configuration.

  • This leads to project delays, loss of competitiveness, and career risks for IT teams.

  • Not investing in this training means letting your competitors gain the edge on modern cloud infrastructures.

Program

AKS curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Theme: AKS Architecture and cluster provisioning (Azure CLI, ARM, Bicep)

Participants explore the Azure Kubernetes Service architecture, deploy high-availability clusters via Azure CLI and Bicep, configure node pools and apply networking best practices. Hands-on exercises on concrete cases enable creation of a production-ready environment and identification of optimization levers.

Module 2 : Theme: Security and governance in AKS (Azure AD, RBAC, Network Policies, Secrets)

This day deepens AKS cluster security with Azure Active Directory integration, fine-grained RBAC implementation, Network Policies and secret management via Azure Key Vault. Learners perform configuration audits and remediate vulnerabilities on real enterprise scenarios.

Module 3 : Theme: Continuous deployment and Helm on AKS (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Charts)

Trainees automate deployments with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, create advanced Helm charts and manage multi-environment releases. Practical workshops include progressive rollout strategies and rollback on critical applications.

Module 4 : Theme: Observability and advanced scaling (Prometheus, Grafana, KEDA, HPA)

Participants deploy monitoring solutions with Prometheus and Grafana, configure automatic scaling via KEDA and HPA, and analyze performance metrics. Concrete use cases enable optimization of resilience and costs for production workloads.

Module 5 : Theme: Multi-cluster strategies and disaster recovery (Azure Traffic Manager, Backup, Disaster Recovery)

The final day covers multi-cluster architecture design, disaster recovery strategy implementation and Azure Traffic Manager integration. A final project synthesizes acquired skills to deliver a robust, certifiable AKS platform.

How AKS skills are assessed

  • Knowledge validation quiz each day
  • Practical exercises on real business cases
  • Final project with presentation and personalized feedback

How the AKS course is taught

  • 24/7 access to the training platform

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.
