## What it is
A curated collection of links and study resources for preparing for the CNCF/Linux Foundation Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification exam. It cross-references resources against the documentation sites allowed during the exam and covers topics like cluster hardening, seccomp, AppArmor, Falco, Trivy, and Open Policy Agent.

## Use cases
- prepare for the CKS Kubernetes security certification exam
- find study resources for Kubernetes security topics
- review CKS exam objectives and curriculum
- learn about Kubernetes hardening tools like Falco and Trivy
- find allowed documentation references for the CKS exam
- plan a study path for the Kubernetes security specialist exam

## When to choose
- you are preparing for the CKS certification exam and want a curated resource list
- you want exam-focused references limited to documentation allowed during the test
- you already hold a CKA and want to extend into Kubernetes security

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on labs or practice questions rather than curated links
- you want a comprehensive Kubernetes security tutorial rather than exam prep
- you are looking for a tool or library rather than a study guide

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, documentation, developer-tools
- domain: security, cloud-computing, tutorials, awesome-lists
