Cloud Native Computing Foundation Unveils Certifications
Platform Engineering, Monday, January 27th, 2025
Feeding a growing appetite for platform engineering knowledge, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has unveiled the addition of three new project-centric certifications and a series of new Platform Engineering-specific certifications.
The Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineer series covers several areas within the cloud native landscape that includes CI/CD, observability, developer experience, automation and orchestration.
'Platform Engineering was one of the most successful tracks at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Paris earlier this year,' said Chris Aniszczyk, chief technology officer at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. 'Like our GitOps Certified Associate (CGOA), certifications that address a specific role versus a specific project are a great way to validate knowledge applicable within a large number of projects and products.'
