Hands-On Training
Two days of hands-on training with your team. Real workloads, real scenarios, real learning — not a slide deck.
Services / KubeStart
From zero to Kubernetes
in weeks
KubeStart gets your team from Kubernetes-curious to Kubernetes-confident — with a running cluster, hands-on training, and a real workload deployed. A fast, low-commitment on-ramp.
The on-ramp · Lifecycle entry point
What's included
What "getting started" actually includes
Speed plus enablement: a real cluster, your team trained on it, and a workload running — so you leave with confidence, not just access.
Rapid Cluster Setup
Production-ready cluster in days, not weeks. We provision, configure, and validate everything.
Starter Runbooks
Essential day-2 runbooks for common operations — upgrades, scaling, debugging, and incident response.
First App Deployed
We deploy your first real workload to the cluster together. You see GitOps work end to end.
30-Day Follow-Up
Slack access to your Stakater engineer for 30 days post-engagement. Questions answered as they arise.
Secure by Default
Even the starter cluster follows security best practices — pod security, RBAC, and network policies configured.
The runway
A short, friendly path from kickoff to confident
The journey is the product. Each step is marked on the rail by when it happens — an onboarding runway that picks up speed.
