Things to keep in mind to clear exam effortlessly.
I recently cleared the CKS certification exam. So it is incumbent upon me to help you navigate this stress-bound exam. All the tips that are provided are either from accrued knowledge or from personal experience.
The first step in your CKA preparation!
If you are studying for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam, you might have come across folks recommending Kelsey Hightower’s Kubernetes the Hard Way. It is an excellent first step for someone who has no idea about the components that form a Kubernetes cluster. As the name suggests, it is created so that you learn the Kubernetes building blocks the “hard way”.
My experience with CKA exam preparation
I passed CKA exam with 92% marks on 19th October 2018.
Learn how to disable the shortcut Ctrl + W altogether on your GNOME
I am about to attempt the CKA exam and it has a browser based terminal. And I am used to this terminal shortcut Ctrl + W which deletes a word. But the same shortcut in browser can close a tab. Since this exam is combination of both I am afraid I might close my exam tab while deleting a word in terminal. Now the only solution to this is disabling the shortcut in chrome. But turns out that the shortcut is hard coded in chrome.
I am a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, working on various tooling around container technology like Docker, Kubernetes, etc.
