Developers with the ability to operate, troubleshoot, and monitor applications in Kubernetes are in high demand today. To meet this need, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation created a certification exam to establish a developer's credibility and value in the job market for work in a Kubernetes environment.

The Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam format is different from the typical multiple-choice format of other certifications. Instead, the CKAD is performance-based and requires deep knowledge under immense time pressure.

Updated to reflect revisions to the official curriculum made in September 2021, this revised study guide takes you through all the topics you need to fully prepare for the exam. Author Benjamin Muschko also shares his personal experience and tips. New topics include: Deployment strategies, Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), authentication, authorization, and admission control, Ingress, and more.

The software development landscape is rapidly evolving, and cloud-native technologies are at the forefront of this change. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is one of the largest open source communities in the world with over 190 open source projects and has 200,000+ contributors worldwide improving the state of cloud native every day. From my experience as the cofounder and CTO, it can be fairly tricky to understand where you should begin to explore this vast cloud native landscape.

This study guide prepares you well for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), which covers Kubernetes skills from the perspective of an application developer. In my opinion, having detailed examples is critical in passing the CKAD and this book has many of them. Ben covers all the topics required to successfully pass the certification and even lays some groundwork for future advanced certifications like the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS). What’s more, reading this book will give you the practice you need to become a more forward-thinking professional who embraces modern and open source development practices.

Kubernetes is one project that is at the heart of the open source cloud native movement, enabling developers to build, deploy, and scale applications with agility. Kubernetes certifications are incredibly popular with more than 100K+ registrations to date. We designed the CKAD certification to be focused on the application developer and provide a solid foundation for the fundamentals of Kubernetes and cloud native open source skills. Earning it validates your understanding of these critical technologies, and signifies your commitment to continuous learning and staying ahead of the curve. Furthermore, the knowledge you gain here will empower you to effectively deploy and manage cloud native applications (a skill in high demand across various industries), help open doors to exciting career opportunities, and demonstrate your ability to thrive in the constant dynamic world of cloud native.
