Just wanted to share some of the resources that I found particularly useful in preparing for Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam by Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNFC) and The Linux Foundation.

• Kubernetes: Up & Running book by Brendan Burns, Joe Beda, and Kelsey Hightower
• Building Microservices book by Sam Newman
• Introduction to Kubernetes (LFS158) course by The Linux Foundation on edX.org
• Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes course by Google on Udacity
• Kubernetes Fundamentals (LFS258) course by The Linux Foundation
• Getting Started with Kubernetes course on Pluralsight
• Advanced Kubernetes Usage course on Udemy
• Kubernetes on the Cloud & The CNCF CKA Certification Course on Udemy
• Kubernetes the Hard Way tutorial by Kelsey Hightower
• Reading the docs at https://kubernetes.io/ (when I took the test in May 2018, this website was the only one allowed to be used during the 3 hour hands-on exam)
• Some of the TGI Kubernetes YouTube videos by Joe Beda, Heptio Founder and CTO
• Blog post How Heptio Engineers Ace the Certified Kubernetes Administrator Exam
• Walid Shaari’s GitHub repo Kubernetes-Certified-Administrator
• Katacoda Kubernetes in-browser scenarios - https://www.katacoda.com/courses/kubernetes
• Official Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Program website including Candidate Handbook and Curriculum Overview
• Most importantly: hands-on practice and hacking with self-installed (i.e. minikube, kubeadm), AKS, and GKE Kubernetes clusters

I had the pleasure of taking the exam a few days ago. It was fun, challenging, and rewarding!

Good luck upskilling, practicing, and acing the CKA exam!
