In this brief video, learn about the newly announced Cilium Certified Associate certification program, the first CNCF certification for Cilium. The Cilium Certified Associate certification is the first CNCF certification, and it's designed for platform and cloud engineers with interest in networking, security, and observability in Kubernetes, and it's intended for any engineers who plan on deploying in their infrastructure. The certification is ideally for candidates with a background in Kubernetes, ideally at the KCNA level. A background in networking, like TCP/IP, the OSI model, DNS, HTTP, and of course an interest and some knowledge of Cilium, even though we don't expect you to be an expert. We just expect that you have a strong interest and have done some research into Cilium. So if you pass the Cilium Certified Associate certification, it demonstrates that you possess the required skills to implement and design Cilium in your environment, and with that I wish you the best of luck.
