297 Golden Kubestronauts – the rockstars of Kubernetes

Guests: Pip Oomen, Emil Hjelle, Ole Mathias Heggem and Anders Smith Language: Norwegian Duration: 29.04 min

Golden Kubestronaut is one of the highest certification levels in the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem. In this episode four Redpill Linpro consultants who have earned the title explain what it takes to become one and what they have learned along the way. They talk about the different Kubernetes and CNCF certifications, from multiple-choice exams to challenging hands-on tests, and how the journey has helped them expand their skills across the cloud-native landscape. We also discuss how certifications can validate technical knowledge, strengthen a consultant's profile and create value for customers. The guests share their best advice for anyone looking to develop their Kubernetes skills: practise, build your own environments, break things and learn how to navigate the documentation. Finally we look ahead at networking, platform engineering and the growing role of AI in the cloud-native world.
