Course description

Deploy and manage containerized applications 

Write your awesome label here.
Transform Raspberry Pi hardware into a production-ready Kubernetes cluster that demonstrates real-world cloud-native architecture. This hands-on training takes learners beyond theory into practical distributed systems, where affordable hardware becomes a powerful learning platform for mastering enterprise container orchestration technologies.
This Raspberry Pi Kubernetes training guides learners through building a multi-node cluster from the ground up, installing lightweight k3s Kubernetes distribution, deploying Rancher management platform, and implementing the same patterns used in production environments. Students will work with actual hardware clusters, understanding how distributed systems achieve reliability through redundancy and intelligent workload distribution.

You'll assemble and network multiple Raspberry Pi nodes, install and configure k3s for resource-efficient Kubernetes operations, and deploy real-world applications that leverage cluster capabilities. You'll also explore high availability patterns, failover scenarios, and resource optimization techniques that mirror enterprise Kubernetes deployments.

By the end, learners gain hands-on experience with container orchestration, distributed computing, and cloud-native technologies—equipping them with transferable skills for managing production Kubernetes environments, DevOps roles, and modern infrastructure management in any enterprise setting.
