Emeka Eni:
Any tips on clearing the exam? @fishr I just started the cka course and I was just wondering if you had any side material to help you pass.
fishr:
My advice would be to do the following
• learn the imperative commands to save time (kubectl create <resource>)
• if you blank on the syntax for a command use the -h flag and you will get an example at the bottom to use as a reference
• if you’re not sure about a resource’s attributes, use kubectl explain <resource>.spec instead of going back and forth with the docs
• Be comfortable with using vim
• If you’re asked to give the number of deployments/pods/<insert resource> in the cluster, use the --no-headers flag and pipe the output to wc -l
• first thing you should do when the exam launches is open the docs and make the window full screen (same with the terminal so you can tab between both)
• The less time you spend trying to copy / paste from the docs the more time you have to check your work
• during the exam, keep track of all the questions you’ve answered and mark those you’re unsure of
• brush up on network policies (it came up in both CKAD/CKA for me)
• practice practice practice: there’s no curve balls in the exam. Everything you’ll need is in the course / killer.sh
• don’t stress, it’s really not that difficult
If I think of anything else, I will be sure to amend my comment. And of course, if anybody else has their own tips feel free to add to the list

i would just add to the point “if you’re not sure about a resource’s attributes, use kubectl explain <resource>.spec instead of going back and forth with the docs” that you can open a separate tab terminal for just “explain” command
Sofiya Taskova:
Thanks very much for all these tips!
I wonder, is it possible to summarize the unix network knowledge which is assumed in the exam?
Trung Tran:
Thanks for sharing!

Hi @Sofiya Taskova you don’t need much unix network knowledge to crack the k8s exams.
