Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)

“

- CKA is certified Kubernetes administrator. So what is it about? Well, this is a third exam that candidates can take. Here also, taking KCNA and CKAD first is recommended, but it's not required. If you are just interested in the administration tasks and you want to get started with CKA, that's totally fine. In CKA, the candidate demonstrates their knowledge and ability to create a managed Kubernetes clusters, and the focus is on network-related administration tasks. So it's about cluster nodes and network settings and security settings and everything that you would typically do to make sure that you have an operational Kubernetes cluster. CKA also is a performance-based exam, which means that you will work on assignments hands-on. You really need to do it, and memorizing stuff is not enough.
