Cert prep that's going to test you like the exam actually does.

CertKata launches with weighted question banks for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. Live-terminal Kubernetes labs, graded against real cluster state, are the fast-follow after that — not a someday maybe. Get on the list and we'll email you the day Wave 1 opens.

What ships first

Four clouds, launched one wave at a time

Wave 1 is question-bank format across every track, including Kubernetes — we'd rather ship a tight MVP than a half-built live-terminal feature. Labs come once the bank is solid.

WAVE 1 — MVP

AWS

Weighted question banks for CLF-C02 and SAA-C03, mapped to the real exam blueprint.

WAVE 1 — MVP

Kubernetes (KCNA)

KCNA question bank at launch — the foundational, multiple-choice CNCF cert. CKA's live-terminal labs are the fast-follow, not day one.

LATER

Azure

AZ-900 and AZ-104 in planning, once Wave 1 content quality is where we want it.

LATER

Google Cloud

Associate Cloud Engineer up first. Scoped once Azure ships.

Why the labs aren't in v1

Live-terminal labs are the hard part. That's why we're not rushing them.

Wave 1 covers Kubernetes with the KCNA question bank — the same foundational step CNCF itself recommends before CKA. CKA, CKAD, and CKS are live-terminal exams — a multiple-choice bank genuinely can't prep you for one. Real short-lived clusters, graded against live state, are also the one part of this product with real infrastructure cost and real security surface. We'd rather launch a genuinely good question bank first than ship labs half-tested.

  • 15–20 scenario tasks per domain planned, sourced from the real exam curriculum.
  • Auto-graded against live cluster state — not a pattern match on typed text.
  • Hint ladder instead of an instant answer, so you learn the diagnosis, not the trick.

The preview on the right is what we're building toward — it isn't live yet, and we're telling you that plainly.

Hint 1 — A pod in the storage namespace is stuck. Check its events.
Hint 2 — Look at the PVC binding, not the pod spec.
Hint 3 — kubectl get pvc -n storage — the claim is Pending. Check the StorageClass name.
Planned for Wave 1

Per-domain readiness, not a single guess of a score

Every exam blueprint is broken into its real domains. CertKata will score each one separately, across four modes, so "I feel ready" becomes a number you can act on.

Why sign up before launch

Three reasons to get on the list now

01

First access to Wave 1

You'll get the launch email before it's public anywhere else, including the free sampler.

02

A say in what ships next

Reply to the launch email and tell us whether Azure, GCP, or the Kubernetes labs should come next — early replies shape the roadmap order.

03

No spam, one purpose

This list exists to tell you when Wave 1 is live. That's the only email it's for.

"

We're building CertKata because we sat these exams ourselves and hit the same wall twice: question banks that taught pattern-matching, not the terminal work the Kubernetes exams actually test. Wave 1 is a genuinely good question bank across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. The live-terminal labs come right after — built properly, not rushed to hit a launch date.

Questions worth asking

We're not putting a hard date on the page until we're confident we'll hit it. Signing up is the only way to know the moment Wave 1 opens.

No — Wave 1 ships Kubernetes as a question bank like the other tracks. Live-terminal labs are the next major release, not day one.

Nothing. This is an email list, not a purchase. You'll see real pricing and a free sampler once Wave 1 is live.

It's used only to notify you about CertKata's launch and, if you opt in later, related updates. It isn't sold or shared.
