Kubestronaut Journey​

  1. KCNA & KCSA the first step to become a Kubestronaut certification, and to give slight experience in Kubernetes. (multiple-choice)

KCNA reference: https://github.com/moabukar/Kubernetes-and-Cloud-Native-Associate-KCNA KCSA reference: https://github.com/riquetta/KCSA/wiki#important-note

  1. CKA, CKAD, CKS using perfomance based test with Surveillance camera. (practical)

Why certification is important​

Certification is important due to different portfolio showcase for DevOps Engineer. Lets say if developer can showcase it product through github, or UI/UX designer can showcase it to Pinterest. The only way DevOps can showcase it skill is either certification or blog-project. But sometimes it forbidden to share company project. So need to be careful with it

Pricing​

Normal pricing will be arround 1750$ or 28 Million IDR Important to buy it on Black Friday or Cyber Monday the price can reduce to almost 60% close to 800$ for Bundling

KCNA -> CKAD | CKA -> KCSA -> CKS

  1. KCNA: multichoice exam, covering fundamental of cloud native (CNCF) and kubernetes. what it used and what it roles in Community
  2. CKAD: practical exam, covering fundamental of kubernetes, how to deploy, how to manage, how to troubleshoot (more developer-centric that hands on with kubernetes) RBAC, Service Account, How we deploy, Manifest. (More like the one that create Yaml file, maintain it, deploy it)
  3. CKA: practical exam. more deep about how to administrate the kubernetes cluster itself (More kubernetes The hard way-like) Cert/TLS, Cluster upgrade , cluster maintenance, Node, core-level kubernetes (More like the maintenance team that making sure the cluster have HA and create kubernetes from scratch, kube-adm, CSI, CNI networking )
  4. CKS & KCSA: practical exam. covering the security-side of kubernetes. including monitoring,logging, image vulnerability (Cillium.) Security around this (Code, Container, Cluster, Cloud)

Thing to note​

  1. Usually devops who only using AWS EKS or GCP GKE will have issue when trying CKA. because lack of fundamentals play, control panel knowledge, etc. because cloud provider didnt give access to it. only worker node level if from cloud provider.
