Request for New certificate Kubernetes Certified Architect or Kubernetes Certified Expert(CKE)
I've achieved CKA and CKAD , put CKS as target.
Beside of this I would like to see certification which covers design and architecture topics. When building on premise clusters you face a lot of quesions, challenges to bind best practise solutions. These consepts are also needed on cloud deployments.
I would suggest the following topics for this certificate: On-premise and Cloud clusters Designing onpremise clusters based on best practises Kubernetes cluster advanced networking How design secure cluster (some parts from CKS or security from SA point of view) Microservices Application Development (12 factor for microservices) on Kubernetes Migrate monoloth application to Kubernetes microservices.
Maybe some points is out of scope of Kubernetes certifications. I just wrote suggestions which I considered as challange for me and friends.
You have to make sure that it is realistic to have an exam regarding these topics and within a reasonable time. I would say the topics should be
Multi/Federated cluster management Cluster logging/monitoring HA cluster design gitops workflows
I think certifications have a limit especially if it a hands-on, maybe this one should be a mix or series of three exams, multiple questions, use case scenarios and select the best answer and some hands-on project
Sure, agree with you.
It can be 8 hour long lab or consists of 2 parts.
