Skills rubric & self-assessment

A gauge of where you stand after the Docker, Kubernetes, Envoy, and Istio courses. Tick only what you could do unaided, from a blank terminal, not "I saw it in a lesson." The verdict updates live.

The hard rule: if you'd need to copy from notes or a lesson to do it, leave it unchecked. Recall isn't skill. The goal is a truthful read, useful for interviews or knowing what to drill next.

Tier 1 · Foundational

The basics. If most of these aren't checked, start (or revisit) the Docker and Kubernetes fundamentals.

Tier 2 · Job-ready (mid-level)

The working practitioner toolkit. Most of these checked means genuinely employable on containers and Kubernetes, and ready for CKA or CKAD.

Tier 3 · Advanced signals

Depth and breadth beyond the day job. These lean toward senior, but true seniority also needs real production scars a course can't give.
