Hi @ashwin.kulkarni, first thanks for the effort to create such a valuable content. Two things I would like to know are: 1. if its possible to return to the previous question if one mistakenly click next button without flagging the question, 2. if there is any measure in place to block one from mistakenly clicking any link/pages that are not allowed? Kindly find time to reply as soon as possible as I plan to take the exam in 2days time. Thanks so much once again.🙏🏿

[@difronzogiovanni88]

Where is the tab that we are allowed to use during the exam? On the remote desktop?

[@boyata-rj3zy]

Thank you for this video. My CKAD exam is scheduled for early March if all goes well. Can you tell me which aliases are most useful please? I'm currently using these: alias k="kubectl" alias kcg="kubectl config get-contexts" alias kcn="kubectl config set-context --current --namespace" alias kcu="kubectl config use-context"

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

HI @boyata-rj3zy, Firstly all the very best for your exam. I usually don't prefer to keep many aliases because remembering them is an overburden for me, but that's my approach; you might be more comfortable with aliases. I would suggest to have aliases for pod, deployment, service and context management which might be handy for you in the exam. Here's list of them - gist.github.com/doevelopper/ff4a9a211e74f8a2d44eb4afb21f0a38

[@cgm446]

Hi, is this certificate so expensive?

[@yannaharikareddy9948]

Hi @Ashwin Kulakarni ....I see we have Security content also in mumshad's video which is almost 2hrs nd 34mins,but not even a single question to practice in any of the resources .Do we get any questions from that security content(authentication,authorization etc../)aswell?

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

you might get a single question based on RBAC but Good to go through auth, api def part just for the knowledge purpose

[@abhijeetpandey7258]

Hey ashwin, I am a data Scientist, sometimes to manage and deploy our containerized applications we have to use K8s. Are there any beginner friendly resources that can help me to understand only basics of k8s, not that much in depth ?

[@lolitaad19]

Kubernetes absolute beginner course by mumshad mannabeth udemy

[@kiranbakale8207]

is it possible that only using imperative commands we can solve problems in the exam, as declarative commands consumes a lot of time.

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

Yes you can use only imperative commands in the exam if you’re totally comfortable about it

[@jotaro8694]

Hey Ashwin, I am confused about the difficulty of CKA & CKAD exam, Mumshad in one of his videos highlighted that CKAD is comparatively easy to pass than CKA, which is the same response I received from many other, but few people said the CKA is easier than CKAD, could you please confirm on this, also the CKAD curriculum is shorter than CKA.

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

HI, Yes as per my understanding CKAD is little easier to crack thank CKA. CKA has little more administrative syllabus and questions. But it depends on for what purpose you're giving the exam. All the best.

[@chinun3214]

Just wanted to know if we can give the CKAD exam in any offline / exam center particularly in Bangalore. As home environment setup can be challenging especially if there is any internet or power disruptions

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

Hello @chinun3214 as far as I know, CKAD exam is only available on the online proctored medium. I don't think so you will be able to give it as an offline mode in Bangalore or anywhere.

[@SUMITKAUSHIK1000]

Hey Buddy So I am just starting with Mumshad's course. Do I need to watch the Beginners course first then start with the CKAD one. Or I can just directly start with the CKAD one. I am a complete beginner. (I am getting feeling that Im wasting time by watching the beginners course and I should directly start with CKAD one.)

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

HI, You don't need to go through any of the basic ones, Mumshad's course is more than enough to cover all concepts from basic to advance level.

[@jilesingh1124]

hey congratulations can we use github resources during the exam?

[@ashwin.kulkarni]

HI, NO you cannot use any other resource except k8s official website during the exam.
