Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) is a associate-level Linux Foundation certification exam. The blueprint splits the exam across 5 domains, starting with Kubernetes Fundamentals, Container Orchestration, Cloud Native Architecture. On exam day you have 90 minutes, in formats such as multiple-choice. The 20 questions below are free samples written to match that style: answer each one first, then reveal the correct answer and note which topics you miss. The KCNA is rated medium in difficulty, and most candidates prepare with at least 3 months of hands-on experience. Because every answer is revealed in place, you can work through the whole set without leaving this page. Work through all 20 samples before deciding whether to buy the full 179+ question PDF.
