Certified Kubernetes Administrator - CKA
This course prepares participants for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam and equips them with the practical skills required to design, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot production-grade Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes is a cloud-native orchestration platform that provides reliability, scalability, and efficient resource utilization for containerized applications.
This is a vendor-agnostic, hands-on training focused on real-world administration tasks aligned directly with the official CKA exam objectives. Participants will build and manage a highly available Kubernetes cluster from the ground up, configure networking and storage, manage workloads, implement security controls, and resolve operational issues. The course concludes with a mock CKA exam that closely simulates the real certification experience.
By the end of the course, learners will have the confidence and technical proficiency required to operate Kubernetes in enterprise environments and successfully attempt the CKA certification.
