15 Tips To Ace the CKAD and CKA Exam
A must-read for those who want to take these exams
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. This is one of the technologies almost every company is implementing or trying to adopt nowadays. The Linux Foundation offers two certifications on this technology: Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) and Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA). I recently took both exams. A lot of people reached out to me and asked for tips. So, I wanted to share tips that are helpful while preparing the exam and during the exam as well.
1. Practice
Since this is a performance-based exam, do a lot of practice and get hands-on with every topic. Install minikube on your machine and practice. For the CKAD exam doesn’t focus on the administration part, you don’t have to worry about the multi-node cluster. Practicing on the single-node Minikube is enough for this exam.
For the CKA exam, Along with the CKAD preparation you need to understand how to create a multi-node cluster and how to switch between clusters, debugging a failure node, Taints, and tolerations, RBAC Authentication, etc are very important.
