Intro to Kubeflow: Katib Training & Certification Recap – Jul 6, 2022

On July 6th we hosted the “Intro to Kubeflow: Katib Training and Certification” prep course. In this blog post we’ll recap some highlights from the class.

Congratulations to Rob Cao!

The first attendee to earn the “Katib” certificate at the conclusion of the course was Rob Cao who works at choreograph! A coupon code for the Arrikto Community Store is yours, well done!

First, thanks for voting for your favorite charity!

With the unprecedented circumstances facing our global community, Arrikto is looking for even more ways to contribute. With this in mind, we thought that in lieu of swag we could give workshop attendees the opportunity to vote for their favorite charity and help guide our monthly donation to charitable causes. The charity that won this workshop’s voting was the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF). The NPCF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding research to eliminate childhood cancer. We are pleased to be making a donation of $100 to them on behalf of the workshop attendees. Again, thanks to all of you who attended and voted!

What topics were covered in the course?

This initial course aimed to get data scientists and DevOps engineers with little or no experience familiar with the fundamentals of how Kubeflow works.
