Why learn Kubernetes with ACG?
We believe people learn best by doing. Our courses use engaging video lessons led by seasoned cloud pros to teach you core concepts, then put you in the cloud driver’s seat with interactive labs set in real, live cloud environments where you can build hands-on experience with EKS, AKS, and AKE. This learn-by-doing approach reinforces concepts, helps you retain information better, and gives you valuable experience building and breaking things in the cloud, so you’re better prepared to bring your new skills to bear in your day-to-day work.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for managing containers. So…what are containers? Containers are basically a piece of software plus all the stuff it needs to run, all gathered up in a lightweight package. Containers support “microservices” by breaking larger applications up into smaller, more manageable bits. With this modular approach, containers let DevOps teams divide and conquer, shrinking development and testing times.
A Cloud Guru offers a comprehensive, hands-on Google Cloud Platform training library covering top-paying certifications and deep dives into the most in-demand GCP skills. New to Google Cloud? Get a broad overview of GCP concepts through our Crash Course on Google Cloud Platform and Intro to Google Cloud courses. Ready to prep for your certifications? We recommend starting with Google Certified Associate Cloud Engineer (ACE) before moving up to the more advanced certs like Google Certified Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Cloud Security Engineer. And of course, build advanced skills with our deep dives into the cutting edge of GCP technologies. Go down the rabbit hole on GCP AI services, become a GKE wizard, learn the ins and outs of Google Cloud Run, and much more.
Our courses combine engaging video components to help you learn core concepts, as well as Hands-on Labs that let you get your hands cloudy and build experience working with real Google Cloud environments. And with standalone Hands-on Labs, Google Cloud sandboxes, practice exams, and support from like-minded GCP learners via our community forums and Discord server, ACG can help you become a GCP VIP.
If you’re an absolute newcomer to Kubernetes and containers, our Introduction to Kubernetes course is a great place to start. It’ll get you grounded in the core concepts involved, and prepare you to advance to next level of courses, including Kubernetes Essentials and Kubernetes Quick Start.
If you’re new to the cloud, your path to GCP certification begins with the foundational-level Cloud Digital Leader certification, which requires no tech experience. If you have some cloud experience, you can start with the Associate Cloud Engineer to pick up the basics of GCP.
Then explore skills that align with your career goals. Interested in AI? Take a deep dive into Google Cloud AI services. Want to strengthen your security chops? Study up on the essentials of Google Cloud security. As your skills grow, take aim at one of the professional-level GCP certifications, like the Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Security Engineer or the popular Google Certified Professional Cloud Architect.
