Training Built by Engineers, for Engineers

BoxBoat's training courses are built by our CKA, Docker, and cloud certified DevOps Engineers and Solutions Architects who work with our enterprise customers every day. We take our production experience and convert them into hands-on exercises.

Each training course is approximately 8 to 10 hours of technical content, and is accompanied by text-based walkthroughs, architecture diagrams, commentary, and at least 4 in-depth, hands-on labs. Technical content is updated quarterly.

E401/E402/E403 is a collection of the hands-on training materials and labs that we use to study for the CKA exam and to train our own engineers between projects. If you want to be a cloud native engineer, this course is for you.
