Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) Study Guide

Book Description Developers with the ability to operate, troubleshoot, and monitor applications in Kubernetes are in high demand today. To meet this need, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation created a certification exam to establish a developer’s credibility and value in the job market to work in a Kubernetes environment.
