The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, and Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, announced a new certification, the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist is in development.

CKS will consist of a performance-based certification exam testing competence across a broad range of best practices for securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms during build, deployment and runtime.

Candidates for CKS must hold a current Certified Kubernetes Administrator certification to demonstrate they possess sufficient Kubernetes expertise before sitting for the CKS. The new certification is being developed to enable cloud native professionals to demonstrate their security skills to current and potential employers.

"Not only has cloud conquered the world, but adoption of containers and other cloud-native technologies is also accelerating," said Clyde Seepersad, SVP, and general manager of training & certification at The Linux Foundation.

"As the use of Kubernetes in production soars, it is critical that those who are managing it understand how to do so securely," said Priyanka Sharma, general manager, Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
