Just got certified as a CKA today after my second attempt. This journey taught me not to underestimate the CKA certification—it demands both speed and a deep understanding of various scenarios. Don’t assume that every scenario will mirror what you’ve studied; you must swiftly tackle unfamiliar problems using documentation within tight time constraints. Effective time management is key.

Here are the resources that proved invaluable in my journey to CKA certified:

  • Kodekloud: This comprehensive course served as my primary learning resource for CKA preparation.

  • Tips and Tricks: I found some useful insights in this guide on preparing for the CKA exam. (link)

  • Network Policy Course: This YouTube series provided crucial insights into Kubernetes network policies. (link)

  • Scenario-Based Labs on KillerCoda: These labs were instrumental in honing my skills and tackling real-world Kubernetes challenges. (link)

Additionally, I delved into Linux Containers and Virtualization: A Kernel Perspective. While not directly applicable to the exam, understanding Kubernetes internals can be immensely beneficial for grasping its workings.
