Crushing the CKA

Introduction

Well, this might have been expected. While I did score 100% in my CKAD certification, I only managed a 95% score in CKA. Regardless, this is still an exceptional score and hopefully these next tips are helpful for crushing your own certification.

The Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam is designed to ensure that the recipients of the certification have the skills, knowledge, and competency to perform the responsibilities of a Kubernetes Cluster Administrator.

Disclaimer: A good chunk of the CKA curriculum is also covered through CKAD. This small article will focus on items that are solely covered in CKA. For tips and tricks for the CKAD, refer to [How I scored 100/100 in CKAD]

Know the material

It all comes back to this doesn’t it? I am afraid that this might not be the answer you will be expecting or wishing for. There are no fancy words or shortcuts. You will need to put in the time to know and master the material.

You will NOT have time to read or search the documentation for the answers in the middle of the exam.
