This certification is the first level available via Rancher Academy, with new classes scheduled to be announced later this year. It is a comprehensive and intensive self-paced five-week course, covering everything you need to know about how to deploy and manage Rancher, as well as use the platform to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters from any provider.
This certification is for those looking to learn more about how Istio works and how to operationalize it for their organization. You will learn the basics of routing, observability, and security, and then expand into leveraging Istio for a devops/gitops CI/CD flow, zero-downtime upgrades of Istio control plane, plugging in with existing PKI, and running Istio on VMs and across multiple clusters.
The Essentials for Istio certification is based on a hands-on, instructor-led workshop focused on how to deploy Istio into production. You will have access to your own Linux virtual machine with a Kubernetes cluster and Istio to complete the exercises.
This credential, offered by Solo.io with Credly, certifies that you possess the essential skills to deploy, configure, debug, secure, and operationalize Istio for your organization.
