So here you will find the guide to help you sail through the CKA exam:

1. Know the Exam Inside Out
The CKA exam is hands-on, tasking you with solving real-world scenarios on a live cluster. It’s all about showing your skills in a practical environment (Killer.sh especially is nearly the same environment).

7. Time Management
During the exam, time management is crucial. Some tasks might take longer than others, so plan accordingly and allocate your time wisely. But, I suggest that the best for you is to read the instructions thoroughly, skip questions you can’t answer straight away and look into them at the end. I even had about 25 minutes left.

9. Use your Unix (Ubuntu) Skills
Prepare to work efficiently with VI/VIM (Copy, Paste, Block-Mode, Delete) and export:
export dr=”–dry-run=client -o yaml” (there surely are other ideas to use but this was the only one I needed. Pay attention because copy and paste from documentation mostly ends in missing the a in defining the “apiVersion” line.
