Accelerating Software Development with GitHub Copilot 

This accelerated course is designed for students preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam. Building on a foundational understanding of Kubernetes, the CKA Fast Track course focuses on real-world cluster administration, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management skills required to confidently operate Kubernetes in production environments.Through concise lectures and intensive hands-on labs, students will gain direct experience with cluster provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and recovery. You will practice performing essential administrative tasks such as ETCD snapshot and restore, managing node access, configuring network plugins, setting resource quotas, implementing security controls, and troubleshooting networking and DNS issues.

Every module reinforces critical CKA exam domains through guided exercises and practical challenges, simulating the time-constrained, scenario-driven nature of the certification exam. By the end of this course, you will possess the applied knowledge and operational expertise to deploy, manage, and secure Kubernetes clusters with confidence — and to succeed on the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam.
