Ayman Moawad:
I would like to share my experience for those who will sit for the exam. I passed the retake exam and here are the important notes from my point of view, arranged by priorities
1- Master Vim , the exam is all about speed
2- Have descpline during the exam ,sometimes you will know the solution but things doesnt go as you expected , for example back up and restore of the cluster is very trivial however it takes many parameters ,due to the tension you might find yourself doing mistakes , leave it to the end dont waste your time
3- practice ctrl-shift-c ctrl-shift-v ,I wasted lot of time in doing cut and paste. There is remote desktop simulation in killercoda
4-Read all the questions first , during my first trial I didnt have time management and I couldn’t reach the end.
5- Memorise kubectl run command you will need it a lot to create pods and also to create test pods to test your service or network policies
6- The exam doesnt ask about .sophisticated concepts but you will not have time in the exam to search for a task that you didnt practice before .for example if you didn’t practice pod affinity or anti affinity or rules in network policy dont assume you will be able to do it smoothly in the exam
Wish you all the best , performance based test is difficult than MCQ but by practicing it can be achieved.

Thanks Ayman for sharing your experience…

Ramdas Nair:
Congratulations @Ayman Moawad. Did you have enough time to go through documentation for things like nodeAffinity syntax?

Ayman Moawad:
@Ramdas Nair
You will have time to go to things that you had already seen and used before like copying ingress
Yaml , copying network policy file. However dont expect to read and comprehend new thing you didnt try before, tension will not allow you to understand things that you didnt do before .

Ramdas Nair:
Thank you @Ayman Moawad

Shakeeb Khan:
