Kubernetes is at the core of the cloud native movement. The Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam certifies that users can design, build, configure, and expose cloud native applications for Kubernetes. The CKAD was developed by the Linux Foundation and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to support the growth of the Kubernetes community. The exam is taken online, supervised, and performance-based, meaning candidates complete several tasks using the Kubernetes command line.
