Question 1

What Kubernetes certifications are available?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

What is the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certification and how does it differ from CKA?

Accepted Answer

The Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) validates the skills needed to design, build, and deploy cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. While the CKA focuses on cluster administration tasks (installation, configuration, networking, troubleshooting), the CKAD is application-centric — covering topics such as container design, pod configuration, deployments, services, resource management, and observability. The CKAD is ideal for software developers and application engineers who build and run applications on Kubernetes, while the CKA is better suited for those managing and maintaining the Kubernetes infrastructure itself.

Question 3

What is the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification?

Accepted Answer

The Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) is an advanced, performance-based certification that validates expertise in securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms during build, deployment, and runtime. It covers topics such as cluster hardening, minimizing the attack surface, supply chain security, monitoring and alerting, and runtime security using tools like Falco and AppArmor. The CKS is one of the most rigorous Kubernetes certifications and requires the CKA as a prerequisite, making it the natural next step for Kubernetes administrators who want to specialize in security.

Question 4

What is the Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineer (CNPE) certification?

Accepted Answer

The Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineer (CNPE) is a certification from the Linux Foundation that validates advanced competency in building, deploying, and maintaining cloud-native platforms using Kubernetes and related CNCF ecosystem technologies. It covers platform engineering concepts including infrastructure automation, GitOps, multi-cluster management, observability pipelines, and developer platform tooling. It is designed for senior platform engineers and infrastructure architects responsible for building internal developer platforms at scale. The CNPE voucher is included in the Kubernetes Certification Exam Voucher (Double Attempt) available at Global IT Success.

Question 5

What is the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) certification?

Accepted Answer

The Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) validates the hands-on Linux system administration skills required in professional IT roles. It covers essential system administration tasks including user and group management, file system management, process management, networking configuration, service management, and security basics. While not Kubernetes-specific, the LFCS is an important foundational certification for professionals aiming to build a career in cloud-native infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering, as strong Linux skills are a prerequisite for most Kubernetes roles. It is included in the Kubernetes Certification Exam Voucher (Double Attempt) at Global IT Success.

Question 6

What is the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification and who should pursue it?

Accepted Answer

The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) is one of the most in-demand cloud-native certifications globally. Administered by the Linux Foundation and CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), it validates a candidate's ability to perform the core responsibilities of a Kubernetes administrator — including cluster installation and configuration, workload scheduling, networking, storage management, and troubleshooting. It is a hands-on, performance-based exam lasting 2 hours where candidates work directly in live Kubernetes environments. It is ideal for DevOps engineers, platform engineers, SREs, and system administrators working with containerized infrastructure.
