When did you get started with Kubernetes–what was your first project?

My first project was creating and supporting Kubernetes clusters in production environments and creating stress tests for the main applications.

What are the primary CNCF projects you work on or use today?  What projects have you enjoyed the most in your career?

Kubernetes is the primary CNCF project I’m working with right now.

How have the certs helped you in your career? 

The certs helped me to get an in depth understanding of Kubernetes architecture and security.

How has CNCF helped you or influenced your career?

CNCF resources and training have helped me to get recognized in the tech industry, keep  up-to-date with new technologies, and my certifications have opened up career opportunities for me.

What are some other books/sites/courses you recommend for people who want to work with k8s?

I recommend Kubernetes documentation, Udemy (check out the CNCF endorsed content), and Cloud Guru platforms as well as  KodeKloud for practical tests.

What do you do in your free time?

I like to study new technologies and spend time with my family.

What would you tell someone who is just starting their K8s certification journey? Any tips or tricks?

Learn from the recommended courses in Udemy or use Cloud Guru, take the practical tests on KodeKloud, but most importantly, take the time to study the Kubernetes documentation and get as much education as you can exploring the CNCF Kubernetes project.

Today the Cloud native ecosystem is way more than Kubernetes. Do you plan to get other cloud native certifications from the CNCF ?

I am thinking about observability certs like:

How did you get involved with cloud native and Kubernetes in general?

My involvement starts with Kubernetes, but I’ve really enjoyed participating in the CNCF events.
