Path: Kubernetes administrator (CKA)

A hands-on, terminal-only exam. The path is mostly about repetitions on a real cluster.

This is a preparation path, not a claim. The status changes when I take the exam.

Why this one

My production work today is Docker Compose behind Caddy. The CKA forces the next level: scheduling, networking, storage and troubleshooting on a real cluster.

Path

  1. Read the curriculum published by the Linux Foundation.
  2. Build a cluster with kubeadm on two or three small VMs, then break it and fix it.
  3. Get fast in the terminal: kubectl imperative commands, --dry-run=client -o yaml, and finding things in the official docs, which are allowed during the exam.
  4. Move one real dtwin service from Compose to the cluster, with probes, resources and a rollback.
  5. Timed practice sessions, then the exam.
