SKILL BENCHMARK
Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 23m
- 23 questions
The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark measures your competency in many Kubernetes technologies and the context that these technologies fit. It also measures your experience level, implying that you have spent some time working on Kubernetes projects. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have working project knowledge of Kubernetes, understand the problems it solves, and are able to actively participate in informed conversations and decision-making processes regarding Kubernetes technologies. They can understand the scope of a project, are seen as a relative subject matter expert, and can work mostly independently with supervision on Kubernetes projects.
