Etcd utility installation in real cka exam

Hello !

Did anyone come across in the real CKA examination to install ETCD utility before taking backup or restore?

If yes, can any one point me the steps in the Kubernetes Documentation ?

I do know the steps from other sources but as we are not allowed to refer anything other than the kubernetes documentation for the examination and all the unix commands for installing ETCD utility is bit confusing to me, I am asking this

Hi @rudrapm,
Don’t worry. It will be pre-installed in the node.

In one of the mock exam question, it was required to install etcd in the control plane. Can we get the steps on how to do it through Kubernetes Documentation as it is hard to remember where to get the binaries from, and all that wget command.

Yes it is in the ultimate mock. You will not get asked to install it in the real exam, because etcd documentation is not allowed.

So, if there is no task to install etcd in the real exam, why do we have it in the mock? Isn’t the purpose of mock the simulation of the real exam? Weird

Please see this section in our FAQ

I am of the same opinion @radmirx .

If we are not expected to get to install ETCD in the real exam, then in mock exam it should ideally not be there.
Needless, to mention Kode Kloud is doing excellent job in terms of all the study materials and the mock exams are very relevant. But in in the opinion that many of us so closely relying on Kode Kloud that this question (about asking to install ETCD) is little confusing. We might have different scenario based questions on ETCD but asking to install ETCD.

Also, anyone has the link on the ETCD page, where the steps of ETCD installation in Linux OS is provided ? I found many links in the internet but not the exact ETCD page.

From the etcd releases page: Releases · etcd-io/etcd · GitHub

Download and uncompress the tarball. The whole of etcd is in it, including etcdctl
