The ability to use, troubleshoot and monitor Kubernetes as an application developer is in high demand. In response, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) developed the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certification to establish a developer’s credibility and value in the job market to confidently work in a Kubernetes environment. The exam is different from the typical multi-choice format of other certifications. It’s completely performance-based and requires deep knowledge of the tasks at hand under immense time pressure. Are you ready to pass the test on the first go?
This practical course is designed to walk you through all the topics covered in the exam to fully prepare to pass the certification exam. The trainer, CKAD, CKA, and CKS, Benjamin Muschko, will also share his personal experience with preparing for all aspects of the exam.
All exercises in this repository practice a self-contained portion of the CKAD curriculum. Please make sure to follow the instructions for setting up your environment before joining the training.
All exercises are numbered and live in dedicated directories starting with the name exercise-. You'll find instructions for each exercise in each folder. Solutions are available in the solution folder. Try to solve each exercise yourself before having a look at the solution.
