Elevate Your Skills at TeKanAid Academy
Expert-led platform engineering courses for practitioners.
Is Your Skillset Keeping Up with the Industry?
Dear Aspiring Platform Engineer,
You’ve built a strong career as a network engineer, sysadmin, or even DevOps professional—but now, the landscape is shifting.
With the rise of modern tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Backstage, and Crossplane, the role of platform engineering is becoming essential.
You know the future of your career lies in mastering these technologies, but staying on top of it all feels daunting.
According to Gartner, by 2026, 80% of software engineering organizations will establish platform teams to provide reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery—up from just 45% in 2022.
Platform engineering is no longer optional; it’s becoming the foundation of modern software development.
At TeKanAid Academy, we’re here to make that transition smoother.
Our platform engineering courses are designed to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you need to be—whether you’re just beginning your journey into platform engineering or looking to level up your skills.
Our expert-led courses focus on real-world, hands-on learning, so you can confidently step into the role of platform engineer, even if your background lies in a different field.
Imagine moving from feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of modern infrastructure to becoming the go-to person at your company for building scalable, reliable internal developer platforms.
Gartner recommends implementing an internal developer portal/platform as one of the key steps in adopting platform engineering.
This approach addresses inefficiencies caused by the decentralization of tools and processes in DevOps, especially as organizations scale.
Platform engineering provides a more organized and centralized framework, which is essential in managing the complexities of modern software development environments.
With TeKanAid, you’ll learn how to simplify automation, implement best practices, and avoid the costly mistakes that come with managing complex systems at scale.
You don’t have to do this alone. Come join our community.
Whether you’re mastering Kubernetes, automating with Terraform, or securing infrastructure with HashiCorp Vault, we’ve got the resources to guide you every step of the way.
Let us help you take control of your learning path, build the skills you need, and step confidently into the future of platform engineering.

Testimonials
I want to thank you for such wonderful courses. They are more comprehensive than other courses I have taken in the past. You take the time to explain every detail of the code and what it does exactly, further enforcing your student’s understanding and confidence in what they are learning. Your methods are very effective and set you apart from other instructors. I look forward to any future courses you may have in the works.
This course was a perfect introduction to Terraform and Infrastructure as Code. Loved the gitpod, saving me a lot of time for developer environment setup. We have a project at work where we want to go from a click-ops version of server-deploy to a more automated flow using ci/cd and terraform for deploying virtual servers. I wanted to learn more about Terraform and IaC, both basic commands and basic understanding of how it all works and this course helped me a lot.
I had the privilege of contributing to the Vault 202 course through questions and recommendations for some of the sections. Having seen its content firsthand, I can vouch for its outstanding quality. Sam has managed to blend depth of knowledge with clear explanations, offering both theoretical and practical insights into HashiCorp Vault. This course is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to truly master Vault. Highly recommended!
Hats off for your presentation skills. Advanced topics presented in this HashiCorp Vault + Kubernetes course were understandable and easy to grasp. Chosen topics were exactly what I needed to be able to perform the production deployment of HashiCrop Vault inside Kubernetes. I extremely appreciate your personal interest after the course. It is clear that you care about your courses participants. Wishing best and feel free to contact me after you have new courses available. Thanks.
Dear Sam, I hope this email finds you well. If you remember before the end of last year I register for one your courses Terraform 101 – Certified Terraform Associate, I must admit that I learned a lot even though I was not patient enough for all videos to be available, so beside that I use the official documentation from Terraform to keep learning and practicing (+Youtube of course). All in all I enjoy the way you structured the course and how you went through it. The main reason of this email, to send you my gratitude for the content you created and to let you know that I passed my exam/test last week.
Excellent course, recommend for anyone planning to use Vaultu in the future. Clear explanations from the author help to understand the concepts well. I had no experience with Vault, but with the help of this course, I was able to deploy Vault in a production environment. In addition to the course, you will also gain access to TeKanAid Community where you are able to comment and/or list questions that you have pertaining to Vault.
