See available dates for this PostgreSQL in Kubernetes course!
If there is no date and time available for a certain training you are interested in, please contact us.

This course takes 3 days with 8 hours each (on site) or 4 hours each (online).
The only difference is that there will be less practical exercises in an online course. However, we will hand them over to you and you can still do them on your own and ask our consultants for feedback or help if needed.

This course provides an introduction to Kubernetes itself and to Kubernetes resources, which are needed in order to manage PostgreSQL. The aim is to gain insights on how PostgreSQL works best within the Kubernetes ecosystem and to overcome challenges of managing multiple PostgreSQL clusters. We will discuss the high availability of PostgreSQL running in Kubernetes, learn how automatic failovers are triggered and cover the options of managing backups and everything else to satisfy all production needs. 

To take part in this course, you should already have experience with Linux and PostgreSQL.

This course can be held in English and Slovenian.
