About this talk

This talk explores the complexities of keeping up with Kubernetes after certification, presented by educators Michael Forrester and Mumshad Mannambeth from KodeKloud, who have trained over a million students for CKA, CKAD, and CKS certifications. The speaker discusses the mechanics of Kubernetes core releases, including the thrice-yearly release cadence and the significance of Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals. Attendees will learn how to track independent SIG projects, navigate the different stages of software release, and prioritize information based on their roles as operators, developers, or architects. The session also highlights how to discern useful external resources from those with agendas, aiding in the ongoing education within the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud native computing.
