Learning objectives

  • Understand the fundamental concepts of service meshes and Linkerd.
  • Install and configure Linkerd on a Kubernetes cluster.
  • Instrument microservices with Linkerd for secure traffic.
  • Implement routing, retries, and circuit breakers.
  • Monitor performance and debug network incidents.
  • Apply best practices for production deployment.

The Learni story

Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without Linkerd, 70% of Kubernetes microservices incidents stem from invisible network failures, causing 40% of annual downtime according to CNCF.

  • Your apps suffer hidden latencies >500ms, zero-trust mTLS vulnerabilities exposing you to breaches (30% rise in 2023), retry failures amplifying customer losses.

  • Losing 20k€/h in revenue per outage?

  • Risk forced migrations to unstable Istio.

  • Train now: divide downtime by 5, secure 100% of traffic, boost performance 3x.

  • Don't leave your clusters vulnerable—act before the next critical outage.

Program

Module 1Introduction to Service Meshes: Linkerd Concepts and Installation (CLI, Helm, Kubernetes Cluster)

Dive into the basics of service meshes, install Linkerd on a real Kubernetes cluster using CLI and Helm, configure the sidecar proxy on simple pods, perform your first mTLS traffic tests, generate Viz dashboards to visualize flows, and produce a validated team installation report.

Module 2Application Instrumentation: Proxy Injection and Secure Traffic (emojiviz tools, practical exercises)

Inject the Linkerd proxy into your containerized applications, secure traffic with automatic mTLS, test resilience under high load scenarios, analyze Golden Signals metrics via the dashboard, debug common errors with debug tools, and deploy an instrumented app ready for production.

Module 3Routing and Policies: Traffic Splitting and Retries (Linkerd CRDs, HTTPRoute)

Define advanced routes with HTTPRoute and Server, implement traffic splitting for canaries, configure retries and timeouts on real scenarios, simulate failures to test resilience, optimize policies via YAML, and validate a routed flow with real-time metrics.

Module 4Security and Observability: mTLS, Authorization, and Monitoring (Viz, Prometheus)

Strengthen security with mTLS and Linkerd RBAC policies, integrate Prometheus for custom alerting, explore distributed traces, analyze latencies and errors across multi-service apps, create custom dashboards, and produce a complete security audit of your mesh.

Module 5Production and Best Practices: Scaling, Troubleshooting, and Migration (real cases, final deliverables)

Scale your mesh for production with HSM and multi-clusters, migrate from Istio to Linkerd in a guided exercise, resolve complex incidents via CLI debug, apply CI/CD best practices, synthesize a rollout plan, and leave with a portfolio of production-ready configs.

Evaluation method

  • Daily interactive quizzes, graded practical exercises, final project on dedicated cluster, internal certification.

Learning method

  • 100% hands-on workshops on real clusters, business case studies, continuous feedback in small groups.

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Linkerd - Master the Secure Service Mesh for Kubernetes program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, e-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Linkerd - Master the Secure Service Mesh for Kubernetes program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

* contact us for remote delivery feasibility** ratio varies depending on the program

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Linkerd - Master the Secure Service Mesh for Kubernetes program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Learni programs are available inter-company and intra-company, onsite or remote. Enrollments are possible up to 48 business hours before the program starts. Our programs are eligible for corporate funding paths. Contact us to discuss your training project and funding options.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

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.
