The SUSE Certified Administrator (SCA) in SUSE Rancher 2.6 certification is designed for administrators who have an understanding of the architecture and components of SUSE Rancher. It also requires knowledge of Kubernetes multi-cluster management with SUSE Rancher. This certification demonstrates fundamental knowledge of the components of SUSE Rancher as well as processes for registering, provisioning, configuring, and backup/restore of Kubernetes clusters using SUSE Rancher. In addition, it demonstrates an understanding of application and workflow management on downstream clusters.
Anyone that previously passed the SUSE exam (sca_ran2_5) for SCA in SUSE Rancher 2.5 will automatically be awarded the SCA in SUSE Rancher 2.6 certification and does not need to take this 2.6 exam.
