Hi! Did anyone take CKA exam this week? If so, can you please provide any insights
Will I be able to use helm doc, Where can I get kustomize references, Are (2025 Updates) Practice Tests sufficient to get hands-on

I have scheduled my exam on Monday, Feb 24. Can I go ahead or should I reschedule

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
Note that the Gateway API stuff was only added to the course today. You may consider pushing back your exam for a week to let it sink in.

Also focus on HPA/VPA and high priority.

CRI (install dockerd), CNI(installation), and CSI (storageClasses). Troubleshooting cluster issues.

Hi @kbunny I have completed my first attempt on feb first week and got it missed by just 2 percent. please help me in understanding the pattern.
what about the rest of the questions. Are there any questions about crd and operators ? and is it mandatory to use helm and kustomize for every kubernetes object we create ?
what about the cluster upgrade and node join are there questions still exists ?

#7

I got a question from CRD (custom resource definition) and Helm.
Expect to see a question from install container on the cluster that means install kubelet on the node (that’s my interpretation).
Gateway API
troubleshooting cluster
configmap
create and set default storageclass.
HPA
high priority
configuring the deployments with right resource limits
ingress
network policies.

#8

Note that installing a kubelet on a node is not new in terms of what you need to do. It is exactly the same technique as upgrading kubelet in a cluster upgrade question.

#9

I’m also looking for the same, new exam pattern with sample question bank.

#10

Better you push your exam for some more days. It needs lots of practice on the new things added post Feb 18th.
