We’re proud of a year that was focused on real-world impact and modern infrastructure.

At RX-M, our mission remains clear: help teams learn, build, and run cloud-native systems the right way.

And 2025 was a strong step forward in that journey.

📊 2025 by the Numbers

In 2025, RX-M delivered 180 instructor-led classes worldwide, representing 97 unique course categories across the modern infrastructure landscape.

  • 180+ classes delivered
  • 400+ class days taught
  • 4,000+ engineers trained globally

Rather than operating in silos, many RX-M courses span multiple domains reflecting how modern systems are actually built and operated.

Our top focus areas in 2025:

  • Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
  • Programming
  • Kubernetes

Together, these three areas represented the majority of our training activity, with AI/ML alone appearing in more than 43% of all classes.

Beyond that, our training covered the full spectrum of production systems, including:

  • DevOps, Platform Engineering & CI/CD
  • Security & Privacy
  • Networking, Messaging & Streaming
  • Observability, Testing & Reliability
  • Cloud Native & Application Architecture

This breadth reflects where RX-M operates best: at the intersection of DevOps, Cloud Native, modern infrastructure, and AI.

As we look ahead, we’re excited to see how training priorities continue to evolve in 2026, which technologies take center stage, how teams adapt to new workflows, and how we can keep helping engineers build the skills that matter most in a rapidly changing landscape.

We can’t wait to see where this year’s training journey takes us.

Sharing Knowledge Beyond the Classroom

2025 was also a big year for speaking, teaching, and community leadership.

Ronald Petty, Principal Consultant at RX-M, spoke at:

  • O’Reilly Infrastructure & Ops Superstream – AI Infrastructure
  • Artificial (Un)Intelligence Conference – Generation Beta and AI: The Great Balance
  • KCD SF Bay Area – Cloud Native AI: Year in Review
  • PyTorch Conference 2025 – Practical AI & ML
  • Google Visitor Experience (Mountain View) – The Human Machine Dance

Ronald also served as a judge at SF Hacks 2025, supporting 200+ students building tech-for-good projects using AI and cloud-native tools.

RX-M proudly sponsored Internet Day SF Bay Area and continued its support of the SF Bay ACM Chapter, where Ronald served as Chair in 2025.

From conferences to hackathons to community events, RX-M remained deeply embedded in the ecosystems shaping the future of software.

🧠 New Trainings Launched in 2025

AI Vibe Engineering
AI Vibe Engineering

With classes ranging from Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineer (CNPE) prep courses to Model Context Protocol (MCP) Foundation, we expanded our curriculum to reflect how engineering work is changing.

Extended versions of AI Vibe Engineering were launched to help developers move:

With 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day formats, the series supports everyone from technical leaders to hands-on engineers integrating AI responsibly into real workflows.

A New Focus Heading into 2026: Service Mesh with Linkerd

Linkerd Foundation
Linkerd Foundation

At the start of 2026, we introduced Linkerd Foundation, a practical, hands-on course for teams running Kubernetes in production who want:

  • Better security (mTLS by default)
  • Clear observability
  • Reliable service-to-service communication
  • Lower operational complexity

Multiple open enrollment Linkerd Foundation classes are already scheduled across 2026, delivered both in-person and virtually.
