CKAD exam review
Requirements
To maximize the benefits of this course, you should possess:
Fundamental Linux command-line proficiency and file editing skills, along with familiarity with a programming language (such as Python, Node.js, or Go). Understanding of Cloud Native application concepts and architectures (as covered in our free Introduction to Kubernetes edX MOOC) is advantageous for this course.
Please note that Kubernetes Administration (LFS458) is not a prerequisite. While there is some overlap in course materials, each course is designed to stand alone and aligns with its respective exam.
Audience
This course is intended for experienced application developers who need to containerize, host, deploy, and configure applications in a multi-node cluster.
Experience Level: Intermediate
