The Portworx Fundamentals course is designed for Kubernetes DevOps teams that will be admins of the container orchestration and data management platforms. Portworx Fundamentals targets a high-level understanding of concepts and utilizes a lab environment so that you can practice what you have learned while also preparing you for the certification exam, which is available upon completion of the training.

This course starts with a quick introduction to Portworx wherein it provides a high level overview of Portworx, its architecture, and the Portworx Control Plane. Next, it covers Portworx installation process for standalone mode and how to install Portworx on Kubernetes via DaemonSet and via Operator.
