Ben Kooijman Joins Sweden's Kubernetes Elite as a Kubestronaut

The Kubestronaut program, created by CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), recognizes individuals who go beyond the basics and lead in Kubernetes expertise. Achieving this title requires completing and maintaining five certifications: CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, and KCSA.

“These certifications push you to go beyond theory, learning skills you can immediately apply on the job,” says Ben. “They built confidence and skills, sparked my curiosity, and unlocked new rooms to explore—that’s why I kept going. Redeploy has been really good at meeting me halfway, which has been a huge motivator.”
