Tools & Resources Required

The CNCF CKA training course equips participants with the necessary tools and resources to gain practical experience in Kubernetes administration. Learners are encouraged to set up their environment and utilize provided resources to maximize hands-on learning.

Kubernetes Cluster Environment

Participants will work with Kubernetes clusters deployed on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, as well as local environments using tools like Minikube or KIND (Kubernetes in Docker). Access to these clusters allows learners to perform deployment, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshooting exercises.

Container Runtime

Docker or another container runtime is required for building, running, and managing containerized applications. Participants use container images to deploy workloads, configure networking, and manage storage within Kubernetes clusters. Understanding container workflows is essential for effective cluster management.

CLI Tools

The kubectl command-line tool is a core resource used throughout the course. Participants use kubectl to interact with clusters, deploy applications, inspect resources, and troubleshoot issues. Familiarity with command-line operations and YAML file manipulation is essential for practical labs and exam scenarios.

Monitoring and Logging Tools

Monitoring and logging tools, such as Prometheus and Grafana, are provided to help participants gain hands-on experience in cluster observability. Learners practice setting up metrics collection, dashboards, and alerts to monitor cluster health and troubleshoot issues proactively.

YAML and Helm Charts

YAML manifests and Helm charts are used extensively to define, deploy, and manage Kubernetes resources. Participants learn to create configurations for pods, deployments, services, ingress controllers, and storage, automating deployment workflows and simplifying cluster management.

Reference Materials

Participants have access to comprehensive reference materials, including official Kubernetes documentation, CNCF resources, lab guides, and study notes. These resources serve as valuable references for completing hands-on labs, understanding advanced topics, and preparing for the CKA certification exam.

Support and Guidance

Throughout the course, participants receive guidance from certified Kubernetes instructors, including step-by-step lab instructions, troubleshooting support, and exam preparation tips. This mentorship ensures learners can overcome challenges and achieve success in both practical exercises and certification objectives.

Practice Exam Environment

A simulated exam environment is provided to help participants familiarize themselves with the CNCF CKA exam format. Practice exams include timed labs and scenario-based questions, allowing learners to develop test-taking strategies, manage time effectively, and build confidence before the actual certification exam.

Optional Tools

Additional tools, such as version control systems (Git), IDEs for editing YAML files, and container registries for managing images, are recommended for enhancing practical skills. These tools help participants manage complex workflows, automate deployments, and integrate Kubernetes operations with DevOps practices.
