Overview

With the meteoric rise in cloud adoption, Kubernetes has become the de facto industry standard in the cloud native ecosystem. Other Kubernetes certifications, including the KCSA, CKAD, CKA, and CKS, are all geared toward higher-level technical proficiency. The Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA)—which covers the cloud native environment generally as well as fundamental Kubernetes skills and knowledge—is designed to be the first step of your cloud native journey. This practical guidebook has everything you need to prepare for and pass the KCNA certification exam.

Both a study guide and point of entry for practitioners looking to explore and adopt cloud native technologies, this comprehensive resource doesn't just teach you the technical essentials. Authors Adrián González Sánchez and Jorge Valenzuela Jiménez also introduce you to the community and industry that KCNA serves, setting you up for further learning down the road. And by completing your KCNA, you'll be well on your way to becoming a Kubestronaut—one of an elite group of professionals who've earned all five Kubernetes certifications.
