The Kubernetes certifications are also hands on, and actually require a lot of operational knowledge that someone who uses it on a daily basis probably wouldn't even be exposed to (like bootstrapping it from scratch as opposed to using more commonly accepted tools).
From what I can tell, AWS recently offloaded their certification program onto a third party, so I doubt it will improve anytime soon.
- dankohn1 8y agoYes, as part of the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam, you spin up, configure, and debug 7 clusters. https://www.cncf.io/certification/training/ https://www.cncf.io/certification/training/ (Disclosure: I helped develop the exam.)
- barbecue_sauce 8y agoHow stable is the exam at this point? I was looking into it a few months ago, but it seemed that Kubernetes' own APIs and primitives were expanding at the time so I figured I should hold off. (Also heard your interview on Software Engineering Daily the other day, very informative)
- dankohn1 8y agoThe exam had some rough edges in the first 6 months but has been quite stable for a year now. We update it every 3 months to match any changes with newer K8s versions, but the changes are quite minor. And, thank you. I've been a listener of Jeff's for a while and enjoyed our chance to chat. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2019/01/14/kubernetes-in-china-with-dan-kohn/ https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2019/01/14/kubernetes-i...
