Why this program matters

  • Without advanced mastery of Linkerd, 65% of Kubernetes clusters suffer unexpected network outages, multiplying downtime by 4 and costing 50k€/incident in revenue losses.

  • Unmanaged latencies spike 300% under load, limiting deployments to 2/semaine max.

  • Without fine-grained mTLS, 40% of microservices breaches expose sensitive data, with GDPR fines at 20M€.

  • Lose 25% of DevOps productivity to manual debugging.

  • This advanced training avoids these risks, boosts resilience to 99,9% and accelerates your releases x3.

Program

Linkerd curriculum: 1 module over 1 day

Module 1 : Linkerd: Advanced Deployment, Traffic Management, and Monitoring (Linkerd CLI, Helm, Viz Dashboards)

Install Linkerd via Helm on a live Kubernetes cluster, configure the sidecar proxy for your microservices, manipulate the CLI to inject faults and test resilience, implement traffic splitting on real e-commerce cases, explore dashboards to analyze latencies and errors in real time, optimize mTLS on critical workloads, produce a concrete deliverable: secure mesh architecture and personalized performance report, all in small groups for maximum interactions.

How Linkerd skills are assessed

  • Interactive live quizzes, graded practical exercises, final case study with personalized feedback.

How the Linkerd course is taught

  • 80% hands-on on real clusters, 20% applied theory with live demos.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Linkerd 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.
