After the training, you will receive an email from us with your personal certificate attached. This usually happens within 24 hours.

Cloud Native applications are modular, scalable, and highly available. They can be developed and deployed faster. Through the automation of processes, operational stability is increased. Furthermore, Cloud Native applications are cost-efficient and can be operated flexibly.

Cloud Native is an approach to building and running applications that fully leverages the advantages of the cloud. Cloud Native applications are modular, scalable, and highly available. They are operated in containers and dynamically orchestrated. Cloud Native technologies are open source and supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

There are several ways you can stay in touch with us:

1. Contact us directly via hello@acend.ch or https://acend.ch/kontakt/
2. Subscribe to our newsletter: https://acend.ch/#newsletter
3. Communicate with us in the acend Slack community

acend combines theoretical input with practice-oriented “hands-on labs,” allowing participants to apply what they have learned immediately.

It depends on the course: For the “Basics” training sessions, little to no prior knowledge is usually required. However, a laptop with internet access is a prerequisite.

Yes. In addition to our publicly listed courses, acend also offers corporate training with customized dates and terms.

The training courses typically last 1–2 days. The duration and price vary depending on the specific course. For groups of 12 or more people, separate terms and conditions are offered.

acend sees itself as part of the Cloud Native community and values exchange both during and after the training sessions. This means participants are invited to become part of this community and to continue their professional development. Additionally, we will send you your certificate.

Our training courses are designed for software developers, system engineers, or DevOps engineers.

A container is a standardized unit of software that contains all the necessary dependencies to run an application. Containers are isolated and run on a shared operating system. They are lightweight and can be started and stopped quickly. Containers are the foundation for Cloud Native applications.

A microservice is a small, independent service that performs a specific function.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally developed by Google and is supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Kubernetes is the leading platform for container orchestration and is used by many companies worldwide.

OpenShift is a Kubernetes distribution developed by Red Hat. It is based on Kubernetes and offers additional features for the development, operation, and scaling of Cloud Native applications. OpenShift is a container platform built on top of Kubernetes and is supported by Red Hat.
