Linux - Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)
Overview
The accelerated Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) course, was created by The Linux Foundation and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a part of their ongoing effort to help develop the Kubernetes ecosystem. The exam is an online, proctored, performance-based test that requires solving multiple tasks from a command line running Kubernetes.
The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification provides assurance that CKAs have the skills, knowledge, and competency to perform the responsibilities of Kubernetes administrators.
Once certified you will have demonstrated the ability to do basic installation as well as configuring and managing production-grade Kubernetes clusters. They will have an understanding of key concepts such as Kubernetes networking, storage, security, maintenance, logging and monitoring, application lifecycle, troubleshooting, API object primitives and the ability to establish basic use-cases for end users.
At the end of this course, you’ll sit the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam, and achieve your Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification. Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you’ll get certified at twice the speed of the traditional training and get access to courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
