Docker revolutionized the IT industry with the introduction of its Portable Lightweight Container Engine. More than 30% of the organizations in the IT industry have already adopted Docker, and the adoption rate is increasing by 40% every year. Over 50% of these environments are orchestrated. Kubernetes is the biggest player in the Container Orchestration world. Tools such as Docker Swarm and Mesos, which have been competitors of Kubernetes in the Container Orchestration market, have added support for Kubernetes within their ecosystems.

In order to be a Certified Kubernetes Administrator you must have knowledge of Docker Basics, Kubernetes concepts, and commands. To help you brush up on these skills, you will get a self-paced module on these concepts as pre-requisites in your LMS.

The CKA certification is valid for 3 years.
