Topics not applicabel in CKA exam

Kubernetes
#1

Hello,
I am preparing CKA exam and solving CKA Mock Exam series as part of practice. I observed few questions on Jobs, etcd installation etc. Hence would like to confirm that if these topics are part of CKA exam curriculam.

#2

jobs are actually a CKAD topic; it’s not on the CKA curriculum. And you would not be expected to do an etcd install on CKA, since for that exam, the etcd docs are not allowed.

#3

@rob_kodekloud - Thanks for quick response. Based on this I also assume that below will not be part of CKA exam,

  • Loadbalancer Service Type
  • PV, Storage Class other than hostpath (Basically any additional CSI)
  • Ingress controller installation.
#4

You will not need to do any of those, but you must know

  • ClusterIP and NodePort service type
  • PV’s using any storage class requested to use, plus the basics of how to define a storage class manifest.
  • How to create ingress resource (Ii.e. kind: Ingress and its rules).

It is unlikely you have to install anything, other than knowing how to use apt for cluster upgrades.
