The ability to administer and monitor a Kubernetes cluster is in high demand. Those who want to demonstrate their credibility and value in the job market hold the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification-proving they can confidently work in a Kubernetes environment.The CKA certification exam isn't the typical multiple-choice format of other professional certifications. Instead, it's performance-based, requiring deep knowledge of the tasks under immense time pressure. And the exam has been overhauled for 2025, with an updated curriculum focused on a revised list of competencies. New topics include: Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and Operators, the Gateway API, and more.This updated study guide walks you through all the topics covered to fully prepare you for the exam, including new sections reflecting the recent changes. Author Benjamin Muschko also shares his personal experience with preparing for all aspects of the exam.Learn when and how to apply Kubernetes concepts to administer and troubleshoot a production-grade clusterUnderstand the objectives, abilities, and tips and tricks needed to pass the CKA examExplore the ins and outs of the kubectl command-line toolDemonstrate competency to perform the responsibilities of a Kubernetes administratorSolve real-world Kubernetes problems in a hands-on command-line environmentEffectively navigate and solve questions during the CKA exam

Vulnerabilities in software and IT infrastructure pose a major threat to organizations. In response, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) developed the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification to verify an administrator''s proficiency to protect Kubernetes clusters and the cloud native software they contain. This practical book helps you fully prepare for the certification exam by walking you through all of the topics covered.

Different from typical multiple-choice formats used by other certifications, this performance-based exam requires deep knowledge of the tasks it covers under intense time pressure. If you want to pass the CKS exam on the first go, author Benjamin Muschko shares his personal experience to help you learn the objectives, abilities, and tips and tricks you need to pass on the first attempt.
