Choosing the right solution/vendor to buy into is a hard problem tho. And it's often a hard sell in an agile culture to do months of upfront research and planning before showing progress.

Training alone is worth its weight in gold. You wouldn't scale a mountain without training, why do folks think this is rational in clustering.

I usually see training purchased after a PoC has been done and a decision has been made. Do people do it for initial research? How do you convince management to pay for it when it may not be applicable?

If you have purchased training after PoC... you're doing it wrong. WRT how, that's tradecraft

Are there any 3rd parties offering “overview training” of competing solutions? The vendor trainings are necessarily biased, ofc. So you’d have to take multiple to judge fairly.

I get your argument, but I haven't really seen fundamental training inherently biased, b/c they go through concepts vs. differentiations.

Well, for example, RedHat trains on OpenShift, and Mesosphere trains on K8s-on-DC/OS, and Google trains on GKE. All of them could sell you on K8s in general, but none of them are gonna give you a fair and balanced overview/training of KaaS solutions.

My point still holds regarding "fundamentals training".
@heptio, and@CloudNativeFdn link'd courses, have "fundamentals training" that doesn't cover provider-specific content at all. It's completely agnostic on purpose.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I think nearly all vendors could agree on most of core training and prevent so much redundant effort and confusion for students. All we need to do is build core training together using open source methods.
@linuxfoundation doesnt do that and I cant fathom why1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

I agree with your frustrations but we have to be vendor neutral, we have CKA/CKAD certifications that are solid and are producing more intro courses/training for other

Thanks Chris first I want to say my only goal here is to inspire positive change. I said we should use open source processes, you suggested that would not be vendor neutral. So open source processes are vendor-biased then?
