What is the CKA exam?
The CKA certification exam was created by the Linux Foundation and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to promote the continued growth of the Kubernetes ecosystem. The exam is a remote online, proctored, hands-on certification exam that requires solving multiple tasks from the command line running Kubernetes. The CKA certification exam is designed for Kubernetes administrators, cloud administrators, and other IT professionals who manage Kubernetes instances.
Certified K8s administrators have the ability to perform basic installations and configure and manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters. They will understand key concepts such as Kubernetes networking, storage, security, maintenance, logging and monitoring, application lifecycle, troubleshooting, API object primitives, and be able to build basic use cases for end users.
What is the use of taking the CKA exam?
Prove your strength and improve your competitiveness: The cloud native development trend is becoming increasingly rapid. More and more companies have begun to use kubernetes as the core container scheduling platform, so there are clear CKA certification requirements for many positions.
Company bidding: Students who have experience in bidding should understand the bidding process. I will not go into details here. Pass CKA to prove that your company has cloud native technology capabilities. At the same time, you can provide company bidding scores through CKA certification.
Apply for KCSP certification: Each company with 3 CKA employees can apply for KCSP

During the exam, your PC can access the Kubernetes official website through a browser. This is very important. It is equivalent to an "open book exam", so it is important to read the official website documents when you have nothing to do! Know where the exam content is and learn to search for keywords.
