Master Container Networking
Do you want to troubleshoot container and Kubernetes networking issues like a true expert? This is a highly practical learning path that will take you from the basics of container networking like creating a network namespace, to more complex topics like configuring a bridge network and using iptables to set up network address translation (NAT) and port forwarding.
Build Container Images Like a Pro
Practice building container images, choosing the right base image, organizing multi-stage Dockerfiles, and troubleshooting common issues caused by flawed image composition.
Get Started with Linux Control Groups (cgroup v2)
Start with learning how to limit process resources in Linux using cgroups - from the most basic and labour-intensive cgroupfs manipulation to the handiest systemd-run command. After that, explore how Docker and Kubernetes use cgroups to control resource usage of containers and pods.

We know firsthand that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. That's why each part of iximiuz Labs is designed to support you at every stage of your journey.
The best way to build proficiency is through practice in a realistic yet safe environment - that's exactly what Playgrounds provide. With just a one click, you can get a Linux VM, Docker, or even a multi-node Kubernetes cluster ready in seconds, letting you experiment freely without risking your host system.
When you're looking to deepen your understanding with theory, our Tutorials and Courses offer clear explanations to help you grasp even the most nuanced topics.
For a more structured approach, Skill Paths and Roadmaps offer carefully curated, step-by-step guidance, so you always know exactly where you're headed next.
Finally, when you want to put your skills to the test, our interactive Challenges simulate real-world scenarios, helping you apply your knowledge through practical, hands-on exercises.
