9 — Runtime Security Labs

Kubernetes

A book-shaped table of contents for Kubernetes: cloud-native foundations, the CKAD/CKA/CKS certification tracks, control-plane internals, platform tooling, multi-cluster architecture, and MAANG-level system design and interview prep — cross-linking the existing Prometheus, Observability, and Platform Engineering chapters instead of duplicating them.

6 — CKA Mock Exams

Full-length timed mock exams that simulate the CKA's 2-hour, multi-cluster task format to train fast context-switching between kubeconfig contexts, ssh-into-node debugging, and etcd/control-plane recovery under time pressure

4 — CKA Objectives

Maps the CNCF CKA curriculum domains (cluster architecture/installation, workloads, services/networking, storage, troubleshooting) to weighted exam percentages and the kubeadm/etcd/control-plane operations each domain tests

2 — CKAD Hands-on Labs

Timed lab exercises that drill Deployment/Job/CronJob manifests, ConfigMap and Secret wiring, and multi-container Pod patterns using only kubectl and vim under the exam's browser-terminal constraints

3 — CKAD Mock Exams

Full-length timed mock exams that simulate the CKAD's 2-hour, 15-19 task format to train question triage, kubectl imperative speed, and flagging-for-review under real exam time pressure
