The Kubestronaut title is a premier distinction for engineers who have mastered the full lifecycle of Kubernetes operations. By earning this recognition, you join an elite global community recognized by the CNCF for deep technical expertise in building, deploying, and securing containerized environments at scale.

Our Kubestronaut learning path focuses on the five essential certifications required for this status. You’ll begin with foundational knowledge via the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) and the Kubernetes Cloud Security Associate (KCSA). From there, you will tackle the high-stakes, performance-based exams:

• CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer): Proficiency in designing and deploying cloud-native apps.
• CKS (Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist): Advanced skills in hardening clusters and securing supply chains.

Achieving Kubestronaut status isn't just about the exclusive jacket or Credly badge it’s about demonstrating your ability to handle real-world production incidents. Our curriculum bridges the gap between theory and the terminal with hands-on labs and simulated exam environments. Graduate with the confidence to lead Platform Engineering teams and solve complex orchestration challenges in any cloud environment.
