Overview of CNCF and Kubernetes Certifications
In this chapter, you’ll learn about Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and its parent organization – the Linux Foundation. We will learn what is behind those foundations, how they appeared, and which projects are curated in their ecosystems. We will also talk about the CNCF community, governance, cloud roles, and the Kubernetes certification path.
While this is one of the least technical chapters of this book, the content you’ll learn about makes up about half of the Cloud Native Architecture domain topics from the KCNA certification, so make sure that you answer all the recap questions at the end of this chapter.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- OSS and open standards
- Linux and CNCF
- CNCF community and governance
- Cloud roles and personas
- Kubernetes certification path
Let’s get to it!
