11 notes

1 — CKAD Objectives

Maps the CNCF CKAD curriculum domains (application design, deployment, observability, networking, state) to weighted exam percentages and the specific kubectl imperative commands each domain tests

kubernetes certification book

10 — Incident Response Exercises

Simulated compromise scenarios (exposed API server, malicious container escape, leaked service account token) that train the CKS incident-response workflow: isolate, capture forensic evidence, and remediate

kubernetes certification book

11 — CKS Mock Exams

Full-length timed mock exams that simulate the CKS's 2-hour, security-remediation task format to train fast triage of hardening gaps, admission-control debugging, and forensic response under time pressure

kubernetes certification book

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

kubernetes certification book

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

kubernetes certification book

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

kubernetes certification book

5 — Cluster Administration Labs

Hands-on labs covering kubeadm cluster bootstrap, etcd backup/restore, node cordon/drain/upgrade sequencing, and control-plane component troubleshooting via static pod manifests

kubernetes certification book

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

kubernetes certification book

7 — CKS Objectives

Maps the CNCF CKS curriculum domains (cluster hardening, minimize microservice vulnerabilities, supply chain security, monitoring/logging/runtime security) to weighted exam percentages and their required CIS benchmark and admission-control tooling

kubernetes certification book

8 — CKS Security Labs

Hands-on labs applying PodSecurity admission, NetworkPolicy default-deny, image signature verification, and kube-bench CIS hardening remediation against a live cluster

kubernetes certification book

9 — Runtime Security Labs

Hands-on labs using Falco rule tuning and seccomp/AppArmor profile enforcement to detect and block anomalous syscalls, container drift, and privilege escalation at runtime
