Frequently Asked Questions
-
Kubernetes (K8s) automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerised applications. In DevOps workflows, it provides declarative infrastructure management, automated rolling deployments, self-healing services, horizontal pod autoscaling, and a rich ecosystem of operators for managing stateful workloads like databases.
-
Kubernetes runs on Linux, so a solid understanding of Linux fundamentals is essential. Key skills include container networking (CNI, iptables, eBPF), storage (PVs, CSI drivers), systemd for node management, troubleshooting with kubectl and Linux diagnostic tools, and security contexts aligned with Linux user/group and capabilities models.
-
Yes, the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification is widely recognised by employers and demonstrates hands-on competence with cluster administration. It pairs well with the CKAD (for developers) and CKS (for security). Many job postings explicitly list CKA as a preferred or required qualification.
-
Kubernetes engineers are in demand at cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), platform engineering teams at large tech companies (Google, Meta, Shopify, Stripe), fintech and health-tech companies modernising their infrastructure, and Kubernetes-native software vendors like Datadog, HashiCorp, and Red Hat.
