Every concept is learned by solving a real scenario — not watching someone else solve it.
Type actual kubectl commands. Every lab runs against an in-browser Kubernetes cluster — no mocks, no click-throughs.
Submit and get pass/fail in milliseconds. The verifier checks your cluster state — not a quiz, not multiple choice.
39 labs across 4 phases. Start with vanilla Kubernetes, advance through production patterns, finish with AWS EKS.
60 scenario-based MCQs across Beginner, Intermediate, and CKA-level Advanced tiers. Every answer reveals a detailed explanation and your weak topics.
Three steps. No setup. No cloud account. No waiting for a cluster to spin up.
Each lab starts with a real-world scenario — a CrashLoopBackOff, a broken ingress, a misconfigured RBAC. You know exactly what's broken and why it matters.
Open the in-browser YAML editor or type kubectl directly in the terminal. The cluster reacts in real time — pods start, services resolve, probes pass.
Hit Verify. The lab checker inspects your cluster state against the objectives. Green across the board? Progress is saved. On to the next lab.
Not every learning method is equal. Here's how KubeForge stacks up.
From your first Pod to EKS production architecture — structured and progressive.

Quick answers to the questions we see most often.
No. KubeForge runs an in-browser Kubernetes simulator — no cloud account, no local install, no kind or minikube setup required. You can start Lab A1 in under 30 seconds.
Yes. Phases A and B cover the core CKA curriculum — Pods, Deployments, Services, RBAC, probes, HPA, StatefulSets, Ingress. The lab format (fix a real scenario, verify against objectives) mirrors the CKA exam format closely.
Phase D is 13 labs focused on AWS EKS in production: IRSA, Pod Identity, Karpenter, the AWS Load Balancer Controller, ECR lifecycle policies, Fargate, Spot optimization, and a full capstone incident. It's designed for engineers who already know Kubernetes and want to go deep on EKS.
Each lab has a set of objectives. When you click Verify, a checker inspects your cluster state — it reads object metadata, checks labels, counts replicas, verifies service selectors, etc. Pass/fail is returned in milliseconds. No multiple choice, no self-grading.
A scenario-based MCQ quiz with 60 questions across three tiers — Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced (CKA-level). Each question presents a real-world situation and four options. After you answer, a detailed explanation is revealed. At the end of each tier you get a scorecard showing your score, topic breakdown, and areas to review. Your progress is saved so you can resume where you left off.
