1. About the Certification
The Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) program was created by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in collaboration with The Linux Foundation to help develop the Kubernetes ecosystem. The CKAD program allows individuals to demonstrate their competence in designing, building, and deploying cloud-native applications for Kubernetes. Commonly, developers are mainly responsible for making workloads in Kubernetes.
Similar to the CKA exam, the CKAD exam is a hands-on, proctored, performance-based test that requires solving multiple issues from a command line running Kubernetes. The exam focuses on the skills required to be a Kubernetes Application Developer in industry-ready work environments.
