It was about time… TL;DR A couple of months ago I’ve taken the CKS exam last week and I have passed it. It was about time to make a post about it which can be helpful to others. After studying for some weeks of studying (in fact, I scheduled the exam a week before the exam was expiring) and two attempts, I got the pass, the first was just to be safe as it was going to expire but the second one, let me 2 additional weeks to nail a couple of things....

This is a “remake” from my previous guide and maybe I have missed something which is not properly updated. VMware Explore 2022 Europe is just a few weeks away and I am extremely excited because it means the first event that I am going to attend this year! (after not being able to attend Kubecon in Valencia…). This event is a bit special for me because it’s where I started to meet many people I know nowadays, so I am looking forward to meet most of them there!...

Another Kubernetes exam: CKAD TL;DR I passed the CKAD exam a couple of weeks ago. As I already expected, it was easier than the CKA. Most of the resources to be used are the same than the CKA. How much do I study for this one? Well, I already have experience with Kubernetes, took the CKA 3 weeks ago so I just took twice the killer.sh test and It was enough but your mileage may vary....

It was about time… TL;DR Last week I’ve taken the CKA exam last week and I have passed it! You can read the rest of the post for more insights and resources. I have been studying for 2-3 weeks but I wanted to share what I have used to study although I already have experience with Kubernetes so your mileage may vary. Anyway, I really like the practice exams as they really test you but practice and understand things instead of memorizing questions from a test....

New adventure ahead! Yes, it happened, in the past week… I have moved to a new company! After 2 months of challenges, interviews and so (that’s one of the main reasons that I haven’t published anything), I started in a new place which is completely different of where I’ve been in the past. Instead of a consultancy, I am working in an end company, meaning, no working for different customers but for the same one, the company it self!...

DISCLAIMER I decided to not continue with this due to the huge implications that will be to redo everything not in the cloud. Basically, a lot of time should be invested and I miscalculated it by too much. Therefore, this will be probably the first and only post about these series. Context In order to practice for the CKA exam, it is recommended to perform the famous Kubernetes The Hard Way by Kelsey Hightower....

Some months missing between my last update! I must say I have been quite busy with the new position and the massive change that has impacted my previous knowledge but overall, I am pretty happy with it! Therefore, let’s move to the point! So I just want to share some notes of the AZ-400 exam which I recently passed and I hope that can be useful to someone. Certification details This exam (AZ-400) is the second one of the path to the specific «Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert» certification:...

Finally, after some time… I am writing something here. It’s being almost 5 months since I wrote my last blog post and it happened so fast but my final project kept me quite busy between November ‘20 and January ‘21. After finishing my bachelor’s degree final project in January, I’ve been enjoying some free time for myself and with that, I «forgot» about writing (a.k.a. procrastination) but not anymore as I plan to start again writing as I did in the past....
