Thanks for sharing amazing tips. Can you tell me how to configure k8s autocompletion
@cloudsecque Рік тому
Sure! So, kubectl is a command line tool that helps you interact with a Kubernetes cluster. It's used to manage and deploy applications on the cluster. Autocompletion is a feature that helps you type commands faster and more accurately by suggesting possible options as you type. For example, when you start typing kubectl get p and hit the tab key, it will suggest all the possible options that start with "p", like "pods", "pvc", etc. It will also work for sub-commands and flags, so you can easily discover what options are available to you. To enable autocompletion, you'll need to run a command specific to your shell, usually it is as simple as running source

Im new to k8s and just bought the exam voucher because cyber monday discount. This video is super helpful, thank you!
@cloudsecque Рік тому
Excellent, I also started from knowing nothing about k8s to passing on my first try. As long as you follow the resources in the video description and the tips outlined for 3 months or so, you'll also be able to pass. Do the CKA course for the first month, go through the labs and the lightning rounds on the course practice tests and then spend the next couple of months working through the exercises on the GitHub resources. It'll help you get lots of practice with the kubectl commands. Also, work on the "imperative" commands. Even though 2 hours seems like a lot of time for 15-20 questions (17, most likely), it isn't when you try to troubleshoot a cluster issue and start losing track of time. Good luck!
@honeyfuntime Рік тому
@@cloudsecque thank you, ill keep those in mind. Btw should i practice creating clusters locally or provision them through cloud? My laptop could handle a couple of small vms but I'm not sure what's the best way to go
@cloudsecque Рік тому
If/when you enroll in Mumshad Mannambeth's CKA course, it comes with labs you can practice in with no limits. In the course, it also shows you how to spin up resources using Vagrant and VirtualBox. I recommend using VMs locally since you don't need to worry about incurring additional costs. You might also want to consider MiniKube (minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/). MiniKube doesn't need alot of resources: 2CPU+, 2GB RAM, 20GB Storage.
@honeyfuntime Рік тому
@@cloudsecque hmmm i've been seeing mumshad's course being recommended everywhere so i will give it a try. And yea its probably best to run everything locally for now.Thank you so much for your advice, wish me luck!

@ramdasnair5655 Рік тому
Thank you for your video. What is the passing grade for the CKA?
@cloudsecque Рік тому
The passing score for the CKA exam is 66% or higher. Keep in mind that the exam consists of 17 practical tasks, each with varying degrees of difficulty and point values. It's always a good idea to refer to the official exam documentation for the latest passing score information. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@axilmcinissa61 10 місяців тому
thank you sir for those valuable informations, I have a lot of time to give to certification preparation. if I prepared for the CKA full time daily, how much time do you think would be enough ?
@cloudsecque 10 місяців тому
So, you're thinking about diving into the CKA, right? Awesome! How long it'll take to prepare really depends on where you're starting from. If you're already pretty savvy with Kubernetes, Linux, and cloud stuff, you might just need a good month or two of dedicated study. That's considering you'll be hitting the books (or rather, the keyboard) full time. But hey, if you're kinda new to all this, don't sweat it. You might need somewhere between 3 to 6 months. The key here is getting your hands dirty with lots of practice, because the CKA exam loves to test how well you can handle real-world tasks. It's not just about knowing the theory, you've got to show you can do the stuff. And remember, it's a timed exam. So, as part of your study plan, take some practice exams to get used to the format and nail down your time management. In the end, we all learn at our own pace, right? So, take as long as you need to feel confident in your skills. You got this!

I know that exam is open note meaning, we can refer to Kubernetes documentation in the website. But I just want to make sure if I do not know which section e.g. taints is, can I just search it in the document section instead of manually checking all section of the documentation?
@cloudsecque 10 місяців тому
Yes, you can search that documentation page or use the search features. Just be careful of the results you to ensure the link doesn’t go outside of the allowed domains. You can refer to the exam guide on what domains are allowed.

Which certification should i aim first ? CKA or CKAD ?
@cloudsecque 10 місяців тому
Here is a brief breakdown of the three certifications: Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA): For those involved in the day-to-day management of Kubernetes clusters. The certification focuses on installation, configuration, and administration of Kubernetes clusters. Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD): For those developing applications to run on Kubernetes. The certification emphasizes designing, building, configuring, and exposing native cloud applications for Kubernetes. Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS): For those interested in Kubernetes security. The certification is aimed at demonstrating competence in securing container-based applications and Kubernetes platforms during build, deployment, and runtime. If your career path is geared more toward administration and security, you might aim to achieve the CKA certification first, followed by the CKS. If your path is more development-focused, the CKAD might be a more appropriate starting point.
@manojkumar-jt3fw 10 місяців тому
@@cloudsecque Where does KCNA & Gitops fit in all of this.
@cloudsecque 10 місяців тому
In the context of Kubernetes, here's how they fit together: KCNA Certification: If you're new to Kubernetes and cloud-native concepts, you'd ideally start with KCNA. It helps you understand the basics and sets you up for further learning and more specialized certifications. GitOps: Once you have a good understanding of Kubernetes from your KCNA study, you'd begin to see the value of GitOps. It's a methodology that can greatly simplify the process of deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes. You would use GitOps to manage your Kubernetes configurations, deployments, and other resources, keeping everything version-controlled, auditable, and automatically synchronized. Further Certifications: After gaining a foundation with KCNA and practicing GitOps, you might want to specialize more in Kubernetes. This is where certifications like Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), or Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) come into play. They build upon your KCNA knowledge and GitOps practices, diving deeper into Kubernetes administration, development, or security. Basically, KCNA gives you the fundamental knowledge, GitOps provides a robust operational practice, and further certifications deepen your expertise in specific areas of Kubernetes.

Can you tell me if you get any preparation time before the exam begins to setup aliases and bookmarks? You mention aliases and bookmarks yourself but if you are to spend valuable examination time on setting up these customizations is it then really worth it in the end?
@cloudsecque 9 місяців тому
I understand you were expecting preparation time for the exam, but unfortunately that is not allowed. The full exam time allotted includes any preparation. Please note the updated video description - you will not have access to bookmarks during the exam. Focus your preparation on becoming fast and proficient with the commands, especially imperative commands. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Learn once fully the mumshaad course and then only buy coupon. Take practise test 3 to 4 times.
@cloudsecque 10 місяців тому
Absolutely, I couldn't agree more with your approach! Mumshad's course is indeed a comprehensive resource for preparing for the CKA exam. It's crucial to fully grasp all the concepts presented there before moving to the next step. And you're right, practice tests are invaluable. Taking them multiple times not only helps you understand where you stand but also gets you used to the format and timing of the exam. Once you're confident with your knowledge and practice test performance, buying the coupon and scheduling the exam is indeed the next exciting step. It's all about going in well-prepared, right?

@cloudsecque Рік тому
Hi! I'm sorry to hear that you failed your exam. How long did you practice before taking the exam? Unfortunately, we cannot talk about the exam questions, but if your question is about how to do ingress/egress within k8s, you might want to check out the Kubernetes Network Policies - github.com/MohanRamadoss/ckakubernetes-network-policy There are other links and references to more practice questions in the video description below.
@cloudsecque Рік тому
With regards to sidecar, it's normally used for logging. Everything you need to know on the exam is available from Kubernetes official documentation. Here's the section on logging / sidecar: kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging/#sidecar-container-with-logging-agent

@@cloudsecque i'm prepared about 3 weeks.
@cloudsecque Рік тому
If you don't have prior experience, 3 weeks may not seem like a lot of time to learn and practice Kubernetes. But everyone has a unique learning style, so it's hard for me to say for sure. It took me 6 weeks of preparation before I felt comfortable working with Kubernetes before taking the exam, and I didn't have any prior experience with it either.
