Detailed Review Of Preparation

The CKAD is a great and fun certification. If you like working on the command line then you'll love it. I actually had fun while sitting in the actual exam! :) It's hard, especially because of the time limit of 2 hours. So you need to be fluent in kubectl and know your way around vim a lot.

• Study all topics as proposed in the curriculum till you feel comfortable with all
• Do all of these, maybe 2–3 times: https://github.com/dgkanatsios/CKAD-exercises
• Do all of these practical challenges
• Also imagine and create your own scenarios to solve
• Read this and do all examples: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging
• Use a large screen so you have more space. Read about the browser terminal
• (maybe) use the CKAD simulator on https://killer.sh

To be upfront, I'm the creator of https://killer.sh where we offer a completely simulated CKAD Simulator environment. You'll get a very close replica of the CKAD environment and similar challenges to solve. Once you register you can also see free example challenges which might already be helpful.

This is how I actually studied and succeeded in the exam, I created my own challenges and environments to get practical knowledge. Because many people liked my shared content I created a simulator around it.

Happy learning and good luck for your certifications!
