My CKAD experience

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....

My CKA experience

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.

VCAP6.5-DCV Design failed exam experience

I recognize, I study a bit in a rush. In just one month for someone who is daily tasks aren’t about architecture, it can be hard (or not)....
