Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
Software Development · Professional
The CKA is a performance-based Linux-and-Kubernetes credential: the exam is run live against a terminal cluster, so it measures whether you can actually install, configure, debug and secure a cluster under time pressure rather than recall a list of flags. It is the entry point of the CNCF Kubernetes certification path.

A remote, live, hands-on performance exam in a terminal against a real cluster, covering the published objectives under a time limit.
