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 to work
in a Kubernetes environment. The Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam is
different from the typical multiple-choice format of other certifications. Instead the CKAD is
a performance-based exam that requires deep knowledge of the tasks under immense time pressure.
This study guide walks you through all the topics you need to fully prepare for the exam.
Author Benjamin Muschko also shares his personal experience with preparing for all aspects of
the exam.
