List of good source to deep dive about Kubernetes and prepare for CKA and CKAD exam:
1. Kelsey Hightower’s tutorial Kubernetes The Hard Way
Do at least three times! Understand it, internalize it.
2. Read Kubernetes in Action by Marko Luksa
3. Complete all tasks from https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/
4. This repo here is great for a testing scenario. It gives you 24 questions to answer, a terminal, and a timer.
5. Practice, practice and practice!! (https://github.com/fahmifahim/kubernetes)
Clusters for practice:
- Katacoda’s Kubernetes Playground: no installs or setup, just tutorials on a cluster
- Minikube: local testing and getting comfortable with kubectl
- Google Kubernetes Enginer (GKE): by far the fastest way to get a multi node cluster running.
- Kelsey Hightower’s Kubernetes The Hard Way: the definitive way to learn how to set up a cluster.
Good reference for saving time before the exam:
These aliases will help save the precious time you have. Use these during your studies, so you are used to them on the day.
