KCNA Deep Guide: Cloud Native Architecture & Exam Mastery

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:00:00 +0000

The Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) certification tests your foundational understanding of the Cloud Native ecosystem, CNCF project landscape, and Kubernetes control plane mechanics.

KCNA Ep 5: Cloud Native Security & GitOps Practices

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:25:00 +0000

Modern cloud-native operations rely on declarative security governance (RBAC, Network Policies) and automated continuous delivery (GitOps). In this final KCNA episode, we cover security fundamentals, GitOps workflows, and Service Meshes.

KCNA Ep 4: Telemetry, Observability & Monitoring

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:20:00 +0000

Observability allows engineers to infer the internal state of a complex distributed system based on its external outputs. For the KCNA exam, you must understand the Three Pillars of Observability and the CNCF tools that collect them.

KCNA Ep 3: Container Orchestration & Workload Primitives

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:15:00 +0000

Workload resources define how application containers are scheduled, scaled, and managed across a Kubernetes cluster. Understanding when to choose a Deployment vs a StatefulSet, DaemonSet, or Job is essential for the KCNA exam.

KCNA Ep 2: Kubernetes Fundamentals & Architecture

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:10:00 +0000

A Kubernetes cluster is divided into a Control Plane (the brain) and Worker Nodes (the muscle). Understanding how these components communicate via the declarative REST API is a core requirement for the KCNA exam.

KCNA Ep 1: CNCF Ecosystem & Cloud Native Architecture

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 13:05:00 +0000

The Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) exam is a multiple-choice certification designed to test your foundational knowledge of the cloud-native ecosystem. In this first episode, we explore the CNCF landscape, cloud-native architecture patterns, and containerization principles.
