Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)

I appreciated how the exam was well-structured and clearly aligned with what we learned. The questions were fair, and I liked that there was a good mix of conceptual and application-based problems. It really tested my understanding, rather than just memorization.

I enjoyed the practical tasks. The skills tested are really in line with what I would expect from a holder of this certificate, and is good proof of understanding this topic I believe.

Test environment was excellent, and very convenient, especially the question layout and important details highlighted for easy copy and paste, and relevant documentation links above every question. It's a pure test of knowledge, not how fast you can drag your mouse, or type away in the Kubernetes documents.

The presented scenarios are great examples of how to test someone's skills. They are complex scenarios with simple solutions, that is, if you know what you're doing. If on the other hand you don't know, there is no way you can slip your way through with sheer luck. Good job on that.

Great exam as a new Kubernetes beginner. The feeling of doing some tricky tasks with very limited time, reflecting real world work situations in an exam is what many other certification exams lack these days. I feel that the CKA certification exam needs to get much, much more recognition and aspiration.

The questions were put up systematically, the hints were the important ones that help me get the tasks done quickly, the copy-paste mechanism lets me copy the words and the context of the question which is the best, this gives short info on the all-over task that needs to be performed.

I really like how hands-on this course is, the certification is different to most in that regard. After completing this certification, I definitely feel confident walking into a job as a K8s Administrator, and to successfully do the job.

The journey leading up to the exam was the most rewarding. I was forced to dive deep into the Kubernetes topics, and to truly master the material - this is not something that I have had to do for many other comparable certification exams.

The CKA exam was a perfect combination of testing my knowledge of Kubernetes, my understanding of commands and how to issue them to get the desired results, and my understanding of the components of Kubernetes itself. Well thought-out and resourced exam in a great testing environment.

The questions were very well laid out and clear, and definitely cover what a day-to-day cluster administration entails. Definitely a very valuable certification.

Even though I am quite proficient in K8s, the limitation of only being able to use the documentation, and the breadth of the topics, forced me to look at some topics in more detail than I would in my daily work. I am sure this has broadened my understanding of K8s, and will come in handy one day.

The hands-on nature of the exam and practical questions are refreshing for certifications. Along with the use of documentation, I feel that the exam is more "real world" than others I have seen.

The exam is well-designed to guide you through key topics, encouraging a deeper understanding of the material. Each section is structured to reinforce specific concepts, ensuring candidates not only cover essential knowledge areas, but also internalize critical skills required for the field.

I liked the practical aspect of the exam, which emphasized scenarios which we are likely to encounter in the day-to-day life of a DevOps/Kubernetes professional.

I really like that the test is practical, and not just question related. In this way, you truly make sure students understand how the Kubernetes system works at a practical level, which gives a lot of weight to the certification.

I knew what to expect, because I took the test exam as well. I loved it, it is challenging but not superficially overcomplicated.

I love the hands-on experience of the exam. The knowledge I gained from the exam can easily translate into a job scenario, due to the practical implementation of the content the exam tests on.

I love that these exams are practical. I will always recommend Linux Foundation practical exams, and I will always hold the certification in higher esteem than any multiple-choice exam.

It was a fair test. I was happy to find that there weren't any seriously picky questions, and the time given was on point. The added copy-paste blocks in each question were much appreciated. I'd say the experience overall is well-refined.

The technical environment is well setup, so you don't waste time with technical details before digging into the exam,

The questions are well-structured in order to evaluate the candidates' understanding, which reflects the credibility of the person who can clear it.

I absolutely love how the Linux Foundation's Kubernetes exams are hands-on! It's like getting the green light to unleash your Kubernetes skills in a real-world professional environment.

Very clear instructions on questions, but especially direct link to relevant documentation, that saved a couple minutes of searching. Thank you!

Questions are to the point. I really enjoyed it, and it seems like a game! I encourage everybody to pass the exam and get things done.

What I liked best about the CKA exam was the hands-on, practical nature of the assessment. The exam was structured to closely simulate real-world scenarios, which allowed me to apply the knowledge and skills I had gained from the Linux and Cloud Native Foundation's online course in a meaningful and engaging way. I particularly enjoyed the interactive lab environment, where I could demonstrate my competency in managing Kubernetes clusters under realistic conditions. The tasks were challenging yet fair, and they provided a comprehensive test of my abilities across a wide range of topics, from setting up clusters to troubleshooting and optimizing Kubernetes deployments. Moreover, the exam's format encouraged a deep understanding of Kubernetes concepts, rather than rote memorization. This approach not only tested my technical skills but also reinforced my confidence in managing Kubernetes clusters in actual production environments. Overall, the exam was a rewarding and enjoyable experience that validated my hard work and preparation.

It has a very comprehensive test for Kubernetes. Well done for the design of the exam and certification.

I love the interactive nature of the LF exams. Tests like this make you feel like you have a real grasp on the content you are expected to learn, and provide a great means of displaying that knowledge.

This exam is very practical and relevant. The questions relate directly to real-world tasks we need to perform as a Kubernetes administrator.

The exam process, from start to end, was so comfortable. I liked the exam simulator as it was a seamless experience. The questions are well articulated to test the individual's in-depth experience and hands-on knowledge of the various components of Kubernetes. I highly recommend individuals taking this exam who work on Kubernetes daily. It will help to enhance your knowledge and confidence in using Kubernetes in the work.

It's a practical exam with real-world implementation; I'm not expected to remember commands and optional switches. In real life, I'm going to open the documentation and check. Excellent exam; and more should run with this format.

Amazing Exam. Tough but covers all aspects for great learning, must for every DevOps, SRE & Cloud Professionals.

The exam tests for relevant skills. If I see someone with CKA, I can be sure that the person is up to par with the skills to manage Kubernetes clusters.

Unlike many other exams, this exam is fully hands-on; you don't need to memorize non-sense information that you will never use! Almost everything you learn for the exam improves your knowledge significantly and prepares you for a proper real environment where you can handle a Kubernetes cluster by yourself.

The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam was an invigorating and rewarding experience that allowed me to demonstrate my comprehensive understanding and practical proficiency in managing Kubernetes clusters. The challenging nature of the exam, with its real-world scenarios and hands-on tasks, tested my ability to troubleshoot, make critical decisions, and deploy applications effectively within a Kubernetes environment. The well-structured and thorough certification process covered various essential concepts, including Kubernetes architecture, networking, security, and storage mechanisms, enabling me to stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and best practices. Overall, achieving the CKA certification has provided me with the confidence and validation needed to excel in the fast-paced world of cloud-native technologies, positively impacting cutting-edge projects and driving innovation in the field.

There's a pretty rich ecosystem of support around the exam, which made it feel familiar by the time I took it. I like the hands-on approach of the exam compared to other certificates, which use multiple-choice tests. I feel like I really learned and demonstrated something by taking the test in this format.

I love that the exam is practical. Candidates still have to memorize things, but you just need to know commands, syntax, and where to find certain files. This keeps the test relevant since Kubernetes changes and updates so often--if the test were multiple-choice then it'd be a lot of overhead for preparation to ensure the facts you have to memorize are still applicable.
