Kubernetes Networking with Calico Training Course
Project Calico is a networking solution designed for containers and virtual machines. Initially developed for OpenStack to simplify data transmission across networks, it now supports Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker EE, OpenStack, bare metal services, and other platforms.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Calico.
- Utilize Calico to establish a container networking solution for Kubernetes clusters.
- Differentiate Calico from traditional overlay networks.
- Understand how Calico integrates internet routing protocols with consensus-based data stores.
