This course is very practical, with great theoretical explanations. Everything is very well organized. I am learning a lot.

Not only was Kubernetes security explained, but the overall security of the organizations where Kubernetes is in use.

Similar to CKA, I really appreciate the fact that this is a very skill-based certification. Not just some theoretical multiple choice questions, just a bash and some actual doing! One of the few certificates I am proud of, as it feels the certification really tested your skills.
