Description

CKA Certification Course – Certified Kubernetes Administrator

Kubernetes is one of the highest trending technology in Cloud Computing as of today. Kubernetes had the fastest growth in job searches, over 173% from a year before, as reported recently by a survey conducted by Indeed.

With our course from KodeKloud, you will be able to learn, practice, and get certified on Kubernetes with hands-on labs right in your browser, with no extra hassle.


Why You Should Learn Kubernetes

Having a CKA Certification is essential for any DevOps professional, and DevOps engineers are always in demand. Currently, the average Silicon Valley salary for a DevOps engineer is 20% higher than what a software engineer makes. DevOps engineers make an average of $140,000 to $200,000 annually. And one of the most in-demand skills is Kubernetes Administration.


What Is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

This Kubernetes certification course helps you gain the knowledge required to design and deploy cloud-native applications on a Kubernetes cluster. A series of well-designed lectures with animation and illustrations help you understand complex concepts easily.

Lectures alone won’t help you clear the CKA certification course. The Kubernetes Certification is a practical hands-on exam that provides you with the necessary experience to properly learn Kubernetes. Our coding quizzes can be accessed right in your browser without having to set up any lab environment yourself. We validate your work and give you feedback instantly. You can even preview a few lab exercises for Free!!

After you have completed the lectures and coding exercises, you will have the opportunity to complete a series of assignments that put your new skills to the test. You will be given a challenge to solve using the Kubernetes skills you have learned.

This will give you real-world experience and the chance to work with other students in the community. You will develop a Kubernetes deployment and get feedback to your work.
