Awesome Trainings from Cloud Native Computing Foundation Projects and Kubernetes related software
A curated list of free cloud-native training courses and certifications from CNCF ecosystem vendors — Kubernetes, Cilium, Istio, Argo CD, OPA, and more. It's a bookmark file, not a project. The target audience is DevOps/platform engineers studying for k8s certifications or filling gaps in their CNCF knowledge.
Covers the full CNCF vendor landscape in one place, including niche tools like Falco, Kyverno, and Cilium that don't surface easily elsewhere. Free certifications with real Credly badges from Isovalent, Tigera, Tetrate, and others have genuine resume value. The medium.com origin story means it was built by someone who actually used these resources, not scraped. Organized by vendor, which is how engineers actually search for this kind of thing.
Last pushed February 2025 and already showing rot — several links in the README point to promotional pages that have since changed or been taken down (AWS badge programs shift constantly). No indication of which certifications are still actively offered vs. quietly discontinued. The repo is pure markdown with no tooling to validate links, so staleness will compound over time. Coverage is vendor-driven, meaning courses exist because companies want LinkedIn badge adoption, not because they're the best way to learn a topic.
