How the labs work

Practice Kubernetes without risking production infrastructure

Cybr prepares the cloud training environment for each lab, so you can focus on the cluster and its workloads instead of account setup and cleanup.

  1. Step 01

    Choose a lab

    Pick the Kubernetes skill you want to practice next.

  2. Step 02

    Launch the environment

    Open the isolated AWS resources prepared for the lab.

  3. Step 03

    Work with Kubernetes

    Follow guided tasks and inspect the cluster as you make changes.

Isolated cloud training environments

Practice separately from personal and company infrastructure. Cybr provides the lab environment and handles cloud resource cleanup.
