**SRE Learning Platform is an open-source educational project where we create courses, hands-on labs, and mock exams to help the community build engineering skills and share up-to-date knowledge.** Materials on Kubernetes, security, Istio, Amazon EKS, and other topics in the catalog below are available today. We are gradually expanding the platform, with courses on Prometheus, Elastic Stack, databases, and other technologies engineers use every day planned for the future.

There are plenty of courses and books, but technology moves quickly, and even good materials become outdated. Our idea is to develop learning materials as an open-source project: keep them current as technologies evolve, test them in practice, fix mistakes, and enrich them with the community's experience.

We want everyone to have the opportunity to learn. Paid courses and books are not affordable for everyone, especially students, so our learning materials are free. We translate our courses into eight languages so that a foreign language does not become a barrier to learning.

**For the community, with the community.** Add new topics and labs, help with translations, and submit pull requests with corrections. Share your feedback on the courses and labs: what helped, what could be improved, and how well the platform prepared you for exams and real work. Your experience helps us improve the materials and make learning more useful.

Tell others about the platform and share links on **LinkedIn, Reddit, HackerNoon**, personal blogs, learning communities, and anywhere else. We welcome these posts: they help more people find the materials and help the community grow and exchange knowledge.

If the platform has been useful to you, [give the repository a star](https://github.com/ViktorUJ/cks). It is a welcome sign of support for our team and encourages us to keep developing the project.
