I realize that I'm lacking in security-related knowledge and, as a result, I don't have any security certifications in my portfolio. Therefore, I've decided to tackle the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate (KCSA), which is the latest addition to the Kubernetes certification lineup, including Kubernetes Cloud Native Associate (KCNA), Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), and Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).
So, let's kick off Day #1 of my journey to acquire the necessary knowledge for the KCSA certification. ππ
KodeKloud offers some amazing courses designed to help conquer these exams. Check out the following links for resources.

π Day #1: Diving Into KCSA π
- What We're Learning Today: Getting to know KCSA and the basics.
- Today's Insights:
β Security starts with understanding what you're protecting. It's like knowing your house inside out before setting up alarms. For network security, it's about knowing your networks and IP addresses. Similarly, to protect Kubernetes, first, we need to understand Kubernetes itself.
β Think of KCNA as the groundwork for everything Kubernetes, including its architecture and fundamentals. It's like learning to walk before you can run. This knowledge is super helpful for tackling KCSA's focus on security!
β Getting familiar with the ABCs of security, such as who's allowed in (authentication), who can do what (authorization), keeping secrets safe (encryption), and setting rules for who can talk to who (network policies) is key.
π Whatβs Next: Tomorrow, I'm going to dive deeper into Cloud Native Security.
Let's keep learning and make our Kubernetes environments safer, one step at a time! π‘οΈπ‘
