I will offer 2 trainings in this process.The first of these:

Certified Kubernetes Application Developer(CKAD) course by Linux Academy

if you are a student you can buy a 3 month Linux Academy membership for $ 80.

second education:

If you ask me, this course through the practical steps is better than the Linux Academy training.
