Awarded for completing Secrets in Kubernetes and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to reason accurately about secret storage and access routes, choose delivery and integration patterns, design workloads that accept a new credential without a coordinated outage, and plan a migration for an estate that keeps credentials in configuration files.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
