Course Overview
Cilium in Action: Kubernetes Security & Insight by The Linux Foundation is a one-day, instructor-led course designed for DevOps professionals, SREs, and cloud engineers seeking to master modern Kubernetes networking and security using eBPF-powered technologies. This hands-on workshop prepares learners for the Cilium Certified Associate (CCA) certification, an entry-level credential recognized across the cloud-native ecosystem. With over 70% of Fortune 100 companies adopting Kubernetes and Cilium being deployed in major cloud providers like Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, expertise in secure, observable networking is in high demand. The course serves as both a standalone skill builder and a strategic add-on for those pursuing or renewing CKA/CKAD certifications, offering focused training on real-world operational challenges.
Participants gain practical experience with core technologies including Cilium, Hubble, eBPF, Kubernetes Network Policies, Cilium Gateway API, and WireGuard for transparent encryption. Through guided labs in a multi-node Kubernetes environment, students deploy Cilium, configure identity-based network policies, enable Layer 7 observability with Hubble, implement mutual TLS authentication using SPIFFE identities, and set up cross-cluster connectivity with Cilium Cluster Mesh. A key lab scenario involves securing microservices communication in a service mesh architecture while enabling real-time traffic monitoring and enforcing zero-trust security policies. These exercises are conducted in a live virtual lab environment, ensuring direct interaction with command-line tools and Cilium CLI to simulate production workflows.
This course directly supports career advancement by preparing attendees for the Cilium Certified Associate (CCA) exam, which validates foundational skills in securing and observing Kubernetes clusters—a capability increasingly required in platform engineering roles. According to industry reports, certified cloud-native professionals earn 20–30% higher salaries, with CKA/CKS holders averaging $140,000 annually; adding CCA further strengthens this profile. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Linux Foundation courseware, and access to expert instructors for personalized guidance. Completing Cilium in Action: Kubernetes Security & Insight equips professionals to design resilient, observable, and secure cloud-native infrastructures, positioning them for advancement into senior platform, security, and SRE roles.
