Certification study guides

I built question-based study guides for all 16 Golden Kubestronaut certifications, with explanations and source documentation. Try a timed practice set, a quick 5 or 10, or study one domain at a time. The hands-on certifications include knowledge drills to pair with lab practice.

This is where I share the things I’m building and what I learn along the way. Mostly AI, observability, Kubernetes, and projects that start in the homelab.
