Hello,

I have just become a CKA Administrator and this is my story.

It took me 2 months of preparation starting from zero to hero.

During that time I as was learning for around 3 ~ 5 hours almost everyday.

To learn k8s I have:

1) done “Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)” course on Linux Academy twice.

2) setup k8s cluster 3 times based upon “Kubernetes the Hard Way” course on Linux Academy.

3) read really carefully “Kubernetes in Action” skipping just a few chapters totally unrelated to the exam.

4) copy/paste and run all yaml files from https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/

5) done all tasks from https://github.com/arush-sal/cka-practice-environment.

6) done all tasks from https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o4qE9x4oXcqFgquUE1yYGJKhNmZnaeMR5SyxwjGGl1w/edit

7) read all conversation on https://kubernauts.slack.com/messages from December till 23.02.2019

8) checked all points from https://github.com/walidshaari/Kubernetes-Certified-Administrator.

9) read all blogs related to “How I passed CKA exam” that I have found on the internet.

10) Before I attempt to pass the exam I knew how to create each resource using kubectl or where to look for the manifest in the official documentation.

11) Practice, practice, practice. Reading alone will not be enough.
