As a senior software developer, I'm wondering how proficient I need to be with Kubernetes before I list it on my resume. I don't want to include every technology I've touched, but I do want to make sure I'm representing my skills accurately. What's the right level of expertise I should aim for?

I’d recommend focusing on your practical experience rather than certifications unless you think a CKA would really add value to your profile. Understanding the nuts and bolts of Kubernetes is what matters.
Exactly! It's all about how you can apply your knowledge in real-world situations.
If you can troubleshoot issues, like connecting to the cluster and running commands, you’re probably ready to add it to your resume. A working knowledge should suffice for most job applications.
Just be aware, it can vary by job, so be prepared to discuss your experience in interviews.
Totally agree! Being able to deploy apps to a Kubernetes cluster is also a big plus.
Good point! Hands-on experience often speaks louder than certs.
