What are Kubernetes Certified Service Provider and Certified Kubernetes – Hosted Status?

KCSP is a certification program developed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation that certifies a company's highest level of competence in Kubernetes deployment and management.

Certified Kubernetes – Hosted is also a CNCF program that certifies that a certified service provider's platform meets Kubernetes open source standards and is reliable, compatible, and complete.KCSP status is awarded to companies that have demonstrated appropriate expertise in deploying and managing Kubernetes. Requirements for status include many strict criteria developed by CNCF, such as having Certified Kubernetes Specialists (CKS) on staff, hands-on experience with Kubernetes technologies in a productive environment, and more.

In order to receive the Certified Kubernetes - Hosted certificate, a service provider must undergo an independent audit of its platform, which confirms full compliance with all the requirements of the CNCF certification program.
