What’s up?!
Good morning/afternoon/evening, all! So, I took the CKAD test a couple of weeks ago and managed to pass! That’s two down, three to go. 🙂
Overall, this one was more challenging than the CKA, but I enjoyed it more. This one focuses more on the usage than the administration of Kubernetes, which yes, I realize is a very obvious statement. This will have you building and troubleshooting the actual constructs within, like services, deployments, etc.. You will need every minute of the allowed time and you will certainly need to have a good understanding of how to use the docs site.
As far as resources used for this one, I once again used a UDemy course created by Mumshad Mannambeth and KodeKloud. Check out the Kubernetes Certified Application Developer (CKAD) over there if interested and keep an eye out for promos and discount codes.
What’s next?!
I’ll be working on the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) next. This one focuses on Kubernetes in the broader context of Cloud Native. From what I understand reading reviews and the exam content (here!), this looks to be more of an introductory certification that covers Kubernetes at a high level with the addition of a lot of public Cloud concepts and terminology. So, I’m hoping that I’ll have a bit of a head start, given my previous experience with AWS and Cloud in general. I’ve tentatively scheduled this one for a few weeks out (April 7th).
Wish me luck!
