Frequently asked questions
Is KCNA hands-on like the other Kubernetes exams?
No. KCNA is multiple choice, sixty questions in ninety minutes, which makes it the approachable entry to the CNCF line before the terminal-only CKA and CKAD.
Who is KCNA for?
Someone earlier in the journey than CKA assumes: developers, support engineers and managers who need Kubernetes vocabulary and the shape of the ecosystem rather than operational fluency.
What carries the KCNA curriculum?
Kubernetes fundamentals at 44 percent and container orchestration at 28: objects, scheduling basics, containers and images. The cloud native architecture and delivery material rounds out the rest.
