About the technology

The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam proves your skills as a Kubernetes administrator, and it's a serious test of your competency. There are no multiple-choice questions or essays: the whole test is conducted from the command line, with you performing solutions directly in the terminal. Administered by the Linux Foundation, the certification is recognized by employers worldwide as proof of your ability to configure and manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters.
