How I cleared my CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) Exam in 1st attempt (2024)!

Brilliant job. Thanks for sharing. Does the exam environment allow a notepad? Can you add notes if you flag a question? Did you get any networkpolicy related questions?

[@pravanjanrath]

Glad you liked it. The exam environment is an ubuntu machine and I opened browser and terminal in it. I did not open notepad but I am sure you can open the notepad in the exam interface. After flagging there is no option to add notes on the PSI browser but you can add related notes in environment notepad. I did get one question related other than netpol where I was asked to create ingress rule for allowing traffic from a pod. I hope I was able to answer all your questions. All the best for your exam!

@@pravanjanrath, another quick question: You mentioned that you used extra mocks from Kodekloud. What would be your opinion on going for them or three mocks on Udemy, lighting lab, and killer shell mocks, enough to pass the exam? appreciate your help. thanks

[@pravanjanrath]

@@uzairawan9635 For passing the exam udemy mocks/lightning lab is enough. Killer.sh is overkill but you should definitely go through it as it will familiarise you with exam environment. I went for extra mocks and I went through killer.sh twice as I wanted to learn more. But make sure to score really good in udemy mocks and lightning like 100. You will easily clear the exam. All the best.

One more thing, in the real exam stepwise marks are given. So even if you don't know a question fully try to solve as many steps as you can.

Hi Pravanjan im preparing for CKA glad i found your video before starting....one question though is kodecloud's CKA course enough to learn kubernetes in general? i mean will it useful enough to answer basic kubernetes related questions in interviews(Looking to switch 3YOE🙂)

[@pravanjanrath]

@@rohandhonde3481 Hello Rohan, If you go through the course properly and do all the hands-on then I am pretty sure you will be able to answer most of the k8s related questions. P.S - I went through the course 2 times to properly understand some concepts 😃. All the best with your prep!

@pravanjanrath Thank you!

hi @Pravanjan can I import aliases from my github repo in CKA exam ???

[@pravanjanrath]

No, you won't be able to access any other site in the exam. Only Kubernetes documentation can be accessed i.e. kubernetes.io.

[@amruthsagar6516]

Hi Pravanjan. Congratulations on your certification. I have one quick question. Did you purchase (or take a subscription) for the additional mock exams from KodeKloud or is it available on Udemy also? Further, do these mock exams have solutions similar to the KodeKloud CKA course on Udemy wherein solutions are also provided for the three mock exams. Please confirm. Thanks

[@pravanjanrath]

@@amruthsagar6516 Thank you. I purchased the additional mock exams from kodekloud and it's not available on udemy. The format of mock exams are similar to the 3 mock exams of udemy where after you end exam you can see solutions. Just that there will not be any additional video explaining solutions.

[@amruthsagar6516]

@@pravanjanrath Thank you for the clarification.

[@vijayc4954]

Could you please share the exam questions ?

[@pravanjanrath]

If you go through mock exams you can easily clear CKA. Sorry, I can't share exam questions but surely they are much easier than killer.sh. All the best for your exam.
