Both new and established professionals need a resource to remain efficient and effective in their roles and with multiple levels of course offerings, KubeCampus has become an incredible Kubernetes training asset in a short period of time, and we are certain it will only continue to grow in popularity and utilization.”

Kubernetes continues to grow in adoption as 82% of organizations are using containers and 66% are embracing Kubernetes as the de facto container orchestration platform,i training has been cited as a major challenge across the open-source community. KubeCampus is the go-to resource that provides rich content and learning opportunities from industry experts.

The hands-on labs are led by Kubernetes experts, empowering learners to test newly acquired skills in real-world situations – from installing a Kubernetes cluster to building an application.

“KubeCampus has truly accelerated my Kubernetes learning journey. Its self-guided pace, hands-on labs with real commands and rich resource libraries are exactly what I needed to move from novice to intermediate skill level. I clearly see the path to becoming a pro,” said Andre Atkinson, Senior Systems Engineer and KubeCampus learner.

Similarly, WeAreDevelopers provides year-round opportunities, spurred by developers themselves, including coding challenges, bi-weekly online events and the WeAreDevelopers World Congress – the world’s largest annual event for developers – to foster networking and knowledge sharing.

“We are thrilled to partner with Kasten by Veeam to celebrate and empower the tech talent within our developer community,” said Sead Ahmetović, CEO & Co-founder of WeAreDevelopers. “KubeCampus is a proof point that we are aligned on the same mission to assist in leveling up developer careers and ultimately drive success across the tech and broader industries as a result.”
