With the recent pandemic and a global recession in our midst affecting all kinds of markets, businesses are looking for ways to save money and remain competitive. At Mobilise we have been asked by customers to find new innovative ways to save costs on digital services whilst still delivering at an ever increasing pace.

But does reducing costs on IT infrastructure necessarily lead to a poorer service?

As an AWS Well Architected Partner and Kubernetes Certified Service Provider, we are uniquely positioned to offer customers the latest in Cloud technology and solution designs. With that in mind, we have been working with customers to pair two amazing technologies together and produce enterprise grade level platforms at a fraction of the cost.

What you Need to Pass the Certified Kubernetes Administrator Exam

Until recently, there was no official accreditation that engineers could receive for becoming competent with the Kubernetes platform. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) recently established a certification program (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) to help develop the Kubernetes ecosystem and it is now recognised as an essential accreditation to obtain Kubernetes engineers.

My name is Garreth Davies and I am a cloud engineer here at Mobilise. I recently passed the Certified Kubernetes Administrator program and would like to share my experience with you.

If you haven’t already, it would be best to start with the Kubernetes 101 blog to get a general understanding of Kubernetes before proceeding.

Kubernetes is now the de facto container orchestration platform deployed by businesses across the globe. In its short existence it has had incredible growth, being released in 2015 it is now the second-highest project on GitHub – second only to Linux. The huge community of support includes 1.2 million comments, 164,000 commits, and 31,000 contributions. There are quarterly conferences (KubeCon), weekly podcasts, dedicated Slack channels with over 75,000 users, and thousands of tutorials available. Companies like IBM, Spotify, CERN, and CapitalOne all use Kubernetes to deliver services to their customers – in fact, over 54% of the Fortune 500 (top US 500 companies) use Kubernetes.
