The Cloud Panda

Start here

Real clusters. Real skills. Real certifications.

Cloud and DevOps certifications test what you can do in a terminal. Practise exactly that, on real infrastructure, from your first lesson to your last mock exam.

  • Lessons and demos for every competency in the public curriculum
  • Hands-on labs on your own kubeadm cluster, graded check by check
  • Timed mock exams weighted like the real exam, scored per domain
  • Original tasks only, never real exam questions

Why certify

Why Kubernetes and cloud certifications

A certification is not the goal. The skills behind a hands-on one are, and the exam is a good, honest test of them.

  • They test real work

    The CKA, CKAD and CKS hand you a cluster and a problem. Passing means you fixed things in a terminal against the clock, not that you recognised answers.

  • A shared, public curriculum

    Each exam publishes its domains and weights. That gives you a clear map of what to learn, and gives a team a common bar for everyone.

  • One step leads to the next

    Administrator first, then developer or security, then the cloud and infrastructure-as-code exams. Each builds on skills from the one before.

Where to begin

Begin with the Kubernetes Administrator path
