Sudheer M:
Hi Guys,
I am planning to take CKAD in coming weeks.
With regards to exam portal, I have a question
If I setup the alias for first question, would it remain for rest of the questions. (Is it one environment that I am gonna play around with? like KodeKloud’s practise tests ) OR would it be a seperate spinup for each / set of questions?
regards,
Sudheer

You need to switch context. The command will be given in the question itself. But remember to switch the context and it is important. You can read more here https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/tc-docs/certification/tips-cka-and-ckad
Sudheer M:
Context switching is fine. What about alias setup and auto-complete
Sudheer M:
Would they stay as it is till the last question, once we set it up
Shwetha Shenoy V:
You setup the aliases and auto-compleete on the session or bashrc. it should stay for the entire duration of the exam
Shwetha Shenoy V:
Needless to say, if you plan to use a lot of aliases, practice with them during the labs and mock exams as well.
Shwetha Shenoy V:
k=‘kubectl’ was the only alias i used and that worked well for me. 
Sudheer M:
Thanks @Shwetha Shenoy V for clarification.

@Sudheer M most of the questions, you can do it on your base node/student node where you need to set alias & autocompletion. In case any question ask you to ssh to worker node or master node then this alias won’t work there. Meaning you need to set the alias in that node as well. However the work on those nodes will be very minimal. So you can ignore setting alias & autocompletion on those nodes.
