Yes, as part of the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam, you spin up, configure, and debug 7 clusters.

(Disclosure: I helped develop the exam.)

How stable is the exam at this point? I was looking into it a few months ago, but it seemed that Kubernetes' own APIs and primitives were expanding at the time so I figured I should hold off.

(Also heard your interview on Software Engineering Daily the other day, very informative)

The exam had some rough edges in the first 6 months but has been quite stable for a year now. We update it every 3 months to match any changes with newer K8s versions, but the changes are quite minor.

And, thank you. I've been a listener of Jeff's for a while and enjoyed our chance to chat. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2019/01/14/kubernetes-i...
