Congrats @Shyam Akula, could you share your exp with PSI and how did you prepare for the exam?
Shyam Akula:
Hi Trung,
- Get through with imperative commands
- Exam is through browser based RDP.
- Even documentation should be browsed from the RDP
- search through documentation atleast once
- Repeat CKA labs until you get confidence
- Use killer.sh sessions properly
- Do not get stuck with questions in exam. Flag them and move on. Mostly you face the tough one’s in beginning and easy ones last. It’s all about time management.
- Start exam 30min before so that you can fix PSI browser issues upfront and you do not rush into time. PSI support is very helpful.
- Antivirus blocked the browser from using my mic and camera on exam day. Make sure you do not run into issues although PSI support is there to help. Need a calm mind at the end.
- ingress, dynamic pvc, ETCD, upgrade, Multi container pods … Sure shot you get a question from each topic in CKA syllabus. So nothing should be a surprise in exam.
