Why this program matters

  • Without Rancher mastery, DevOps teams lose an average of 45% of their time on manual Kubernetes cluster management, multiplying configuration errors.

  • Downtimes from faulty orchestration cost up to 5000€ per hour in production, with 70% of incidents tied to a lack of centralization.

  • In 2024, 65% of companies suffer security breaches from poor multi-cluster management, stalling growth.

  • Every quarter without Rancher skills widens the competitive gap, exposing your infrastructure to critical risks and massive business losses.

Rancher training objectives

  • Master the installation and configuration of Rancher for professional clusters
  • Develop skills in managing multi-cluster Kubernetes via Rancher
  • Implement monitoring and observability with Rancher and its integrated tools
  • Design secure and scalable deployments in enterprise environments
  • Optimize CI/CD pipelines with Rancher for certified production
  • Deploy Rancher in high availability for critical environments

Rancher curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Rancher Installation: Initial Deployment and Configuration (Helm, SSL Certificates, UI Dashboard)

Discover the quick installation of Rancher on an existing Kubernetes cluster via Helm, configure self-signed or Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for immediate security, explore the intuitive user interface to onboard your first clusters, perform practical exercises on a test environment reproducing real business cases, produce a functional pilot cluster with basic monitoring and complete documentation of your technical choices.

Module 2 : Rancher Cluster Management: Projects, Namespaces, and Workloads (Kubernetes Manifests, Helm Charts)

Dive into multi-cluster management with Rancher, create projects and namespaces to isolate dev/staging/prod environments, deploy workloads via YAML manifests or Helm charts directly from the UI, integrate tools like Prometheus for real-time monitoring, apply exercises on scalable microservices applications, generate cluster status reports and automatic scaling plans tailored to your professional needs.

Module 3 : Rancher Security and Scaling: RBAC, CI/CD Pipelines, and High Availability (Fleet, Longhorn)

Strengthen security with advanced RBAC and network policies in Rancher, configure GitOps pipelines via Fleet for continuous deployments, integrate Longhorn for resilient persistent storage, test horizontal and vertical scaling on high-load scenarios, complete a red thread project with multi-node high availability, produce certified deliverables including security audits and performance optimizations for immediate production deployment.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Rancher 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.
