Hi everyone, I am preparing for CKA. Just want to know if the “Security” section is in CKA exam. I could see the security section in the practice tests of this course. So just want to know if i should prepare that .
Karim Meslem:
According to the CNCF Exam details, Security is not included in the list of general domains and their weights.

Whether that means that we don’t have to focus on the Security topic because we won’t be asked to create RBAC rules, Network Policies and such, I don’t know but I’m curious.
Perhaps someone in the channel who passed the exam can further clarify?

Hello, @Ilakkia Srivatsan
I would suggest that you don’t skip the security section. Security section is still important for the CKA exam. Topics like Network policy, RBAC, kubeconfig etc. Administrator should know this.

Hello, @Karim Meslem

Mohamed Ayman:
The course has been updated to match the new CKA exam. Security section moved to CKS but there is a few topics are still part of CKA like RBAC.
Don’t skip lectures, just study the basic practices
I recently passed the Linux Foundation CKA exam and I learned many things along the way. Hopefully these suggestions will help you succeed with your exam.
