Amazon EKS - Knowledge Badge Readiness Path

The Amazon EKS Knowledge Badge Readiness Path is a 12-training Skill Builder learning plan, 10 hours 45 minutes long and rated Intermediate, that builds knowledge of running container workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. It opens with container basics and why customers run Kubernetes on EKS, then covers Kubernetes core concepts, the EKS cluster, deployment options, deploying microservices, EKS security, networking, basic observability, autoscaling and cost optimisation, and GitOps automation, with knowledge checks and a pre-assessment along the way, before the Amazon EKS Knowledge Badge Assessment. The plan's stated goal is to verify your knowledge with the assessment: score 80 percent or higher and you earn an AWS Knowledge badge you can share with your network, issued through Credly.

The audience is solutions architects, cloud operators and developers. AWS's badge page says these badges are free to earn with a free Skill Builder account, the plan is listed under the free access tier, every item in its outline is a digital course, and the page carries no notice that any training requires a subscription.
