Is There a Good Way to Practice Orchestration Scenarios Before Taking the DCA exam?

I am preparing for the Docker Certified Associate DCA exam and currently studying the Orchestration topic. I am looking for good learning materials like practice questions, notes, or video explanations that clearly cover orchestration concepts, especially Docker Swarm. I already know the basics but I want to strengthen my understanding from a theory and exam point of view. If you have used any useful resources I would really appreciate your suggestions.

Hi @starnold8

There’s a course on KodeKloud about this topic. Have you looked into it? You can find it here: Docker Certified Associate Exam Course | KodeKloud

I recently prepared for the DCA exam and totally get where you’re coming from — orchestration scenarios can be tricky. What helped me most was using Docker’s official documentation and labs, especially the Docker Labs GitHub repo and Play with Docker for hands-on practice. I also set up a small local Swarm cluster to simulate real scenarios like service updates, scaling, and node failure. I also used Pass4Success practice questions during my prep and they really helped reinforce the core concepts before the exam. Practicing real tasks in a sandboxed environment is the best way to build confidence for orchestration topics. Hope that helps!
