DevOps Cert Prep using AI, with the KodeKloud Team
DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling
Shownotes Transcript
Bret is joined by Mumshad Mannambeth and Vijin Palazhi of KodeKloud for Q&A on what we should be studying and certifying for in 2025.
💥 This episode is brought to you by our valued sponsor and friends at Aikido)!💥** **Aikido is a no-nonse platform that helps developers get security done. It consolidates multiple scanning tools like code analysis, dependency analysis, and cloud security into a single platform. Aikido’s superpower is its ability to remove false positives, so you can focus on the real issues. Aikido not only helps you find true vulnerabilities but their new AI features auto triage and even fix issues for you. Aikido is FREE for small teams or anyone wanting to simply explore so check it out today at aikido.dev) This episode is chalked full of information. We talked about the CNCA Kubestronaut program and how GenAI has changed the cert prep game, and see what tools and techniques we should use to prepare for next year! You've probably seen Mumshad's courses. He has been another person like myself who, for almost a decade, has been making container courses on Docker, Kubernetes, all the tooling. Now he's running a giant platform of learning and they're introducing AI into your learning and certification prep, courses, and skills labs. And we go through all of it.
We talk about all of the Linux Foundation certifications they cover. They've launched over 100 courses now on their platform and they cover a lot, if not all of the Linux certifications, especially around Kubernetes and the Cloud Native ecosystem. I'm a huge fan of that. I think this is great stuff for everyone, especially if you're early in your career and you're using certifications as a way to prove your expertise or you're like me, you've been around forever and you want to show that you're up to date.
