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

For Code, LF wont employ developers to foster, but not overly influence community. For Training, LF does training unilaterally without community oversight or contribution. Perhaps convenient, but far from ideal, and not true to LF or OSS principles

LF does not do training unilaterally, sorry that's wrong... we work often with community maintainers to create the training... e.g., CKA/CKAD we invited the community and work on the curriculum like an open source projecthttps://github.com/cncf/curriculum

I also encourage any readers of the thread to follow the github link and see exactly what is shared there. A basic outline with maybe the same level of detail as any proprietary training, not trying to be negative again, but this isnt even a detailed agenda, should be more open
