I have completed the CKAD course on KodeKloud and am planning to pursue CKA next. To optimize my study time, I’d like to know which specific CKA modules I should focus on that aren’t covered in CKAD.
Thank you in advance for your guidance!
@nadarshiva.r Congratulations on completing the CKAD course!
After completing the CKAD course, there are specific CKA modules that you should focus on to optimize your study time. These modules are generally not covered in CKAD:
- Cluster Architecture, Installation, and Configuration: Understand Kubernetes control plane components, worker nodes, and installation methods like kubeadm and multi-node clusters.
- Networking: Focus on pod networking, services, ingress controllers, network policies, DNS, and troubleshooting network-related issues.
- Storage: Concentrate on persistent volumes (PVs), persistent volume claims (PVCs), storage classes, and dynamic provisioning.
- Security: Deep dive into RBAC, service accounts, network policies, and PodSecurityPolicies to manage access and security.
- Troubleshooting: Practice troubleshooting pod, node, and cluster issues, including using logs, events, and debugging tools to identify and resolve problems.
- Cluster Maintenance: Learn about cluster upgrades, backups, node maintenance, and keeping the cluster healthy during failure scenarios.
Focusing on these areas will help you efficiently prepare for the CKA exam.
If you need any information or have questions about the CKA exam, feel free to reach out! I’m happy to share my experiences and insights to help with your preparation. Don’t hesitate to ask anything, and I’ll do my best to assist you in your journey to certification!
Best of luck with your studies!
