Prepare for the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate exam with our classroom and online KCNA training at WebAsha Technologies. The course follows the knowledge areas tested in the CNCF / Linux Foundation KCNA exam.
KCNA is the entry-level certification from the CNCF and the Linux Foundation, and it tests conceptual knowledge of Kubernetes and the wider cloud native ecosystem. The current exam has four domains: Kubernetes fundamentals (44%), container orchestration (28%), cloud native application delivery (16%) and cloud native architecture (12%), which now includes observability. Most people sit it before the hands-on CKA, CKAD and CKS.
The course is for students, developers, system administrators and IT professionals who want a recognised starting point in Kubernetes and cloud native.
Online participants need a stable internet connection and a laptop or desktop. The programme includes trainer-led sessions and practice tests.
No prior experience is needed. The Linux Foundation sets no prerequisites for KCNA, and the course starts from fundamentals.
KCNA is a starting point for cloud native careers. In India, cloud native professionals progress from ₹4 LPA to ₹24+ LPA as they advance to CKA/CKAD.
| Category | Tools & components covered |
|---|---|
| Orchestration | Kubernetes |
| Containers | Docker, containerd |
| CLI | kubectl |
| Delivery | GitOps, CI/CD |
| Observability | Prometheus, OpenTelemetry |
| Ecosystem | CNCF projects |
| Architecture | Serverless, autoscaling |
| Standards | OCI, CRI, CNI |
The largest domain, close to half the exam. It covers what a Kubernetes cluster is made of and how workloads are described, scheduled and run in containers.
This domain looks at what an orchestrator has to provide around running containers. The questions are conceptual and stay at an introductory level.
How applications reach a cluster and how you find out what went wrong when they misbehave. The CNCF lists two competencies here.
The ideas behind cloud native systems and the community that maintains them. Observability, a separate domain in the older KCNA outline, now sits here.
