Bret is joined by Mumshad Mannambeth and Vijin Palazhi of KodeKloud for Q&A on what we should be studying and certifying for in 2025.
🙌 My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course. https://learn.bretfisher.com/waitlist🍾
This episode is chalked full of information. We talked about the CNCF Kubestronaut program and how GenAI has changed the cert prep game, and see what tools and techniques we should use to prepare for next year!
You've probably seen Mumshad's courses. He has been another person like myself who, for almost a decade, has been making container courses on Docker, Kubernetes, all the tooling. Now he's running a giant platform of learning and they're introducing AI into your learning and certification prep, courses, and skills labs. And we go through all of it.
We talk about all of the Linux Foundation certifications they cover. They've launched over 100 courses now on their platform and they cover a lot, if not all of the Linux certifications, especially around Kubernetes and the Cloud Native ecosystem. I'm a huge fan of that. I think this is great stuff for everyone, especially if you're early in your career and you're using certifications as a way to prove your expertise or you're like me, you've been around forever and you want to show that you're up to date.
There's also a video version of this show on YouTube.
