As many of you know, this initiative is purely reliant on donations. This means our ability to provide free vouchers depends on whether we can find sponsors willing to donate two exam vouchers to the community. In the past few months, we haveย Second Stateย and KodeKloudย sponsored us the free exam vouchers. We're seeking more sponsors to support our community members.ย ย
How it works?ย
We're hosting the monthly online learning sessions with awesome guest speakers who're already awstronauts, kubestronauts, golden kubestronauts or event kubestrong club members. You can ask us anything about multi-cloud learning & certifications before we run the
wheelofnamesย to draw the winners from those participants on
14 Oct, 2025. We need everyone's help to drive more sponsors to donate
100% off vouchers to help the community.ย
What course + exams are available?
Focus on high-value exam vouchers like
CKA, CKAD, and CKSโwhileย
KCNAย ย andย
KCSAย are acceptable, they hold less value compared to the original
Kubernetes exam trio. Not to mention, the three exams are the most expensive ones, now costs $
445 each (price increased on 5th Feb, 2025).
๐ Whatโs up for grabs this month?
We're actively looking for sponsors to support usย one or more free Kubernetes exam vouchers forย CKA,ย CKAD, orย CKSย valued atย $445.ย As many of you know, this initiative isย purely reliant on donations or sponsors.ย
Are we able to continue to offer 100% off vouchers in the future?
Maybe it is possible. But it relies on our sponsors. That's why we need your help to follow, react, repost our social posts.ย
How can I save if I'm not interested to join the campaign?
