In today’s expanding world of cloud computing, Kubernetes has emerged as the most widely supported container orchestration platform. But administering Kubernetes or even preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam can be overwhelming. Join us for this Kubernetes Administration & CKA Exam Prep webinar as K8s expert and trainer, Ola Ekdahl, breaks it all down and demonstrates how to manage your Kubernetes environments. He also discusses tips and tricks for passing the CKA exam to become a Certified Kubernetes Administrator. In this 1-hour session, Ola will cover:
- Why Kubernetes?
- The Kubernetes architecture, including its components and how they interact with each other (it is essential to understand the architecture and the configuration of each part for the CKA exam)
- The fundamental Kubernetes administration tasks
- An overview of the CKA exam, including the exam objectives, core domains and competencies, exam format, resource allocation, and grading process
- How to prepare for the CKA exam
At the conclusion, Ola will welcome your questions.
Audience:
Anyone interested in learning about Kubernetes Administration and how to prepare for the CKA exam. Some basic Kubernetes experience is assumed.

The rise of microservices architected applications and the use of containers to run them are two major changes in the way applications are designed and delivered. Along with the advantages of these approaches come challenges that require new thinking to overcome.
Challenges such as:
- How can Kubernetes schedule workloads onto available resources?
- How can a load balancer know which instances are viable?
- How can we farm out and harvest work done by multiple distributed services?
- How are horizontal concerns like logging architected to take advantage of reusability?
During this webinar we’ll look at the primary Kubernetes patterns, discussing why they exist, and what issues they solve.
Are you an application developer, technical lead or deployment specialist?
Do you regularly work with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications?
If so, then this webinar will help you:
- Recognize common microservices and container architectural issues
- Understand the solutions others have found, and which ones have been documented in the form of patterns
