CNCF Expands Certification to Platform Engineering and More
November 20, 2024
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, has announced significant momentum around cloud native training and certifications with the addition of three new project-centric certifications and a series of new Platform Engineering-specific certifications:
"Platform Engineering was one of the most successful tracks at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Paris earlier this year," said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. "Like our GitOps Certified Associate (CGOA), certifications that address a specific role versus a specific project are a great way to validate knowledge applicable within a large number of projects and products."
The Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineer series will cover many areas within the cloud native landscape including CI/CD, observability, developer experience, automation, orchestration, and more. Additional information will be shared in the coming months.
At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, CNCF is also introducing three new project-specific certifications:
- Certified Backstage Associate (CBA)
- OpenTelemetry Certified Associate (OTCA)
- Kyverno Certified Associate (KCA)
The CBA is available immediately. OTCA and KCA will be available by the end of 2024.
