Updates are coming to the CKA exam after November 25th, 2024
Kubernetes and the rest of the Cloud Native ecosystem are both evolving fast. The velocity report that is conducted by the CNCF each year is a great demonstration of those changes.
Are you convinced yet? Simply look back 3 years ago: Kubernetes is running on top of Dockershim, Gateway API is not even Beta, and only 16 CNCF projects have graduated (out of 27 now).
To cope with such evolutions, Platform Engineers and Administrators are updating their Kubernetes platforms and their applications on a regular basis and we, at the CNCF and Linux Foundation Education, will also continue to update our exams. CKS updates are already planned, and the update of our beloved CKA exam is next – but not before November 25th!
As stated in the Linux Education announcement, “The CKA domains (i.e. Storage, Troubleshooting, etc.) will remain unchanged” but “changes to competencies”.
