Why Learn Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is one of the most in-demand skills today because:

• Companies are moving to the cloud, and Kubernetes is the leading platform for container orchestration.

• Kubernetes works with all major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), so you're not tied to one platform.
• Kubernetes experts are among the highest-paid professionals in the cloud space.
• Learning Kubernetes will secure your job during tech layoffs and unlock new opportunities in the tech industry.
