Despite this is a good course and I don't regret taking it, because for me this was the only way to take a look at Kubernetes aka k8s. Despite really good (marketing) campaign from The Linux Foundation that these certifications improve your chances getting hired and what not(thousands of success stories etc.).

You know what good did Certified Kubernetes Administrator aka CKA for me? Nobody cares. Either you have experience on paper(be it made up experience or not) or you don't. It seems to be that simple. Nobody cares about any certification what so ever. Which certifications you have might come as the very last thing or as a filter.

I did LFCS(Certified System Administrator) and LFCE(Certified Engineer) and I was still being asked whether I know Linux. Nobody cares about these. I don't regret taking these either, just to be clear.

Now, if you want to learn or are interested in Kubernetes(k8s), then I recommend CKA(and couple years ago I would suggest courses on Udemy and KodeKloud, if not only these two. Nowadays? I don't know). However, your mileage may vary as far as employment chances go.
