2 .Why Participate? Individuals Certification allows Administrators and Developers to establish credibility, expertise and value in the competitive job market (not to mention keywords!) Partner Organizations Differentiate your professional services organization by demonstrating expertise in helping enterprises adopt Kubernetes Platform Vendors Gives end users the confidence that when they use a Certified Kubernetes product they can rely on a high level of common functionality Gives Independent Software Vendors confidence that if their customer is using a Certified Kubernetes platform that their software will behave as expected
3 .The Programs Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Program Focuses on the deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting skills required to successfully administer a Kubernetes cluster Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) Program Focuses on defining application resources and using core primitives to build, monitor, and troubleshoot applications in Kubernetes Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP) Program Partner organizations that offer Kubernetes support, consulting, professional services and training Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program (CKCP) Ensures vendor versions of Kubernetes support the required APIs and guarantees interoperability from one Kubernetes installation to the next
4 .CKA / CKAD Exams Candidates demonstrate their competence by solving a set of performance-based problems in a command-line environment that tests their Kubernetes Administrator and Application Developer skills CKA includes 24 problems CKAD consists of 19 problems Online, proctored exam – take your test from any computer with reliable internet and a webcam (a quiet environment is recommended) CKA candidates have 3 hours to complete the exam CKAD candidates have 2 hours to complete the exam Candidates may use their browser to access information at https:// kubernetes.io /docs/ or https:// kubernetes.io /blog/ CKA was the first of the programs and currently most popular–more than 3200 registrations for the CKA exam as of Oct 2018

10 .KCSP Program Details Program requirements : Three or more engineers who pass the CKA exam Demonstrable activity in the Kubernetes community A business model to support enterprise end users CNCF membership Benefits to participating organizations : Placement on the Kubernetes partner web page Monthly meetings with the TOC, CNCF project leadership and Governing Board Access to leads from end users inquiring about support Benefits to engaging a KCSP services organization : Proven expertise helping enterprises move to a cloud native platform Trusted and vetted partner to support your production and operational needs Demonstrated ability distributing and operating Kubernetes
11 .Software Conformance There are currently over 80 Kubernetes platforms and distributions! Guaranteed Portability & Interoperability : conformance ensures that vendor versions of Kubernetes support the required APIs so that user workloads can run without having to test against every K8s environment Timely Updates : certification is versioned, as Kubernetes architecture changes, certification requirements will change. Platforms must complete a recertification each year for the current or previous version of Kubernetes to remain certified Previously certified implementations remain certified as long as a newer version is certified at least once a year Confirmability : end users can confirm that their distribution or platform remains conformant by running the identical open source conformance application ( Sonobuoy ) that was used to certify
12 .Finding a Certified Vendor Look for the logo! Most vendors are proud of their certification CNCF manages a spreadsheet of certified distributions and platforms: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LxSqBzjOxfGx3cmtZ4EbB_BGCxT_wlxW_xgHVVa23es/ A Distribution is software based on Kubernetes that can be installed by an end user on to a public cloud or bare metal and includes patches, additional software, or both A Hosted platform is a Kubernetes service provided and managed by a vendor An Installer downloads and then installs vanilla upstream Kubernetes
13 .Achieving Conformance Confirm through self-testing (https:// github.com / cncf /k8s-conformance/blob/master/ instructions.md ) that the platform/distribution/installer is a qualifying offering Submit and have results accepted by the CNCF Abide by the terms and conditions of the Conformance Program (https:// github.com / cncf /k8s-conformance/blob/master/terms-conditions/ Certified_Kubernetes_Terms.md ), including subsequent re-testing End user independent tests must pass; if an end user test fails, you must fix issues it identifies
