Candidates must have taken and passed the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam prior to attempting the CKS exam. CKS may be purchased but not scheduled until CKA certification has been achieved. CKA Certification must be active (non-expired) on the date the CKS exam (including Retakes) is scheduled. Training modules mapped to the certification exam include: 1) Cluster Hardening (15%), 2) System Hardening (15%), 3) Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities (20%), 4) Supply Chain Security (20%), , and 5) Monitoring, Logging and Runtime Security (20%). This exam is an online, proctored, performance-based test that requires solving multiple tasks from a command line running Kubernetes. Candidates have 2 hours to complete the tasks.Candidates who register for the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) exam will have 2 attempts (per exam registration) to use an exam simulator, provided by Killer.sh.
