Hey everyone,

I’ve recently started learning more about Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies, and I’m considering taking the KCNA exam to validate my foundational knowledge. From what I understand, this certification focuses on the core concepts of Kubernetes, container orchestration, and the broader cloud-native ecosystem, including things like CI/CD, observability, and microservices architecture.

I’m currently going through the CNCF documentation and experimenting with basic Kubernetes setups using Minikube and Docker, but I’d like to get a clearer idea of what to expect in the actual exam. How deep do the questions go on topics like networking, storage, or cluster management? And for those who have already passed, what kind of study approach or resources helped you the most?

Any advice, experience, or learning recommendations related to the KCNA exam would be great to hear. I think it’s a valuable step for anyone starting their cloud-native journey, and it would be helpful to know what strategies others found effective.
