Hi ,
We have some question in mock CKAD Exam based on Endpoints, for which I could not find a section in the course . I tried the k8s official docs, but it’s not super clear to me yet. Do we have some other links to articles to videos that you can share. Thanks
There isn’t a lot in the docs, but the concept is fairly simple. The old (if not yet deprecated) type is Endpoints, which is part of the Core API. it’s documented here, among other places. For purposes of CKAD and CKA, you can typically use endpoints, which have a simple structure. I typically find an existing endpoint, use it as a template, and edit the template to suit my needs. This works well.
The reason there’s a newer EndpointSlice API is that Endpoints don’t scale well for very large clusters, and if you work on a large cluster, you do need to know about them. The K8s docs discuss why the API was created, and what makes it different from Endpoints. That’s the other thing you should read.
