About Course

The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Training Program is designed to prepare participants for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator certification exam. This intensive course provides comprehensive coverage of Kubernetes concepts, architecture, deployment, management, and operations. Participants will gain hands-on experience through practical exercises, labs, and real-world scenarios, enabling them to become proficient Kubernetes administrators.

Course Objectives:

  1. Understanding Kubernetes Fundamentals: Gain a deep understanding of Kubernetes architecture, components, and core concepts.
  2. Cluster Installation and Configuration: Learn how to install, configure, and bootstrap Kubernetes clusters using various deployment methods.
  3. Pods, Deployments, and Services: Understand the deployment and management of Kubernetes pods, deployments, services, and other workload resources.
  4. Networking and Storage: Explore Kubernetes networking concepts, including service discovery, load balancing, and network policies. Learn how to configure storage solutions for persistent data in Kubernetes.
  5. Cluster Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Develop skills in cluster maintenance, monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting to ensure the reliability and performance of Kubernetes clusters.
  6. Security and Access Control: Implement security best practices, authentication, authorization, and role-based access control (RBAC) policies in Kubernetes environments.
  7. Application Lifecycle Management: Master techniques for deploying, scaling, updating, and rolling back applications in Kubernetes using declarative configuration.
  8. High Availability and Disaster Recovery: Design resilient Kubernetes architectures for high availability and disaster recovery, including multi-zone deployments and backup strategies.
  9. Monitoring and Observability: Set up monitoring and observability tools to track the health, performance, and resource utilization of Kubernetes clusters and workloads.
  10. Automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Utilize automation tools and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to streamline Kubernetes cluster provisioning, configuration, and management.

Preparing for the Certification Exam: Acquire the knowledge and skills needed to pass the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification exam with confidence.

Certification:

Upon successful completion of the course and passing the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification exam, participants will receive the CKA certification from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This certification validates their expertise in Kubernetes administration and cluster management, enhancing their credibility and career opportunities in the cloud-native ecosystem.

Lab Session: Kubernetes Administration Hands-On Lab

The CKA exam is hands-on and performance-based, typically conducted in a proctored environment using a command-line interface. Candidates are required to demonstrate their ability to perform tasks in a live Kubernetes cluster within a specified time limit. Achieving CKA certification demonstrates proficiency in Kubernetes administration and is highly valued by organizations adopting containerized applications and microservices architectures. It signifies that an individual has the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively manage Kubernetes clusters in production environments.

Prerequisites:

Basic understanding of Linux operating system. Familiarity with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Java). Prior experience with cloud computing platforms is beneficial but not mandatory.
 

Certification:

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate of completion, demonstrating their proficiency in DevOps concepts and practices.
