Cheveo Workshops

Kubernetes workshops that teach a production-ready setup, not just slides.

Three workshop formats, all built from real client engagements. You don\'t set up the cluster in a sandbox - you work with the same patterns we use every day at our managed-Kubernetes clients.

Frequently asked questions

Which workshop is right for me?

If you don't yet operate a production Kubernetes cluster, start with "K3s on Hetzner". If you already use Kubernetes but deployments are painful, you need "GitOps with ArgoCD". If you're solving incidents in the middle of operations, pick "Kubernetes Debugging". When in doubt: book a free 30-minute consultation and we'll recommend the right workshop.

Open training or in-house training - which is better?

Open training is cheaper per person (from €1,499) and ideal for 1-2 attendees per company. In-house training (from €7,000) is exclusive to your team, can be tailored to your environment, and is cheaper per person from 4 attendees. In-house is also the only option for individual compliance and security requirements.

How much prior knowledge do I need?

Solid Linux command-line experience and basic container understanding (Docker or Podman) are required. Pure Kubernetes prerequisites only apply to GitOps with ArgoCD. Detailed prerequisites per workshop are listed on the individual workshop pages.

What hardware do I need for the workshops?

A laptop running current macOS, Linux or Windows with WSL2. We provide pre-configured lab environments for hands-on exercises - no cloud infrastructure of your own is required. In-house training can optionally run on your own infrastructure.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, all attendees receive a Cheveo participation certificate. This is not an official CNCF certificate (CKA/CKAD), but it prepares you for the relevant exams content-wise. For the official CNCF exams, we recommend additional exam-prep courses.

Can we book the workshop in English?

On request, we run in-house trainings in English. Open trainings are usually held in German. Get in touch and we'll discuss options.
