#36 - Kubernetes Certification - CKA / CKAD

To finish the year well, we recorded a special episode with some friends from the community who already have the certification and could share some study and preparation tips for the exam.

In this episode we talk a bit about what to do before starting to study, how to read the manuals and instructions carefully so as not to have doubts about the process. (Here)

Ricardo Katz suggested some preparation links that are in the documentation itself, and everyone agrees that it is through the documentation that everything starts and that it can be used during the exam for consultation: 

CKAD: Foundations, Intermediate and Advanced

CKA: Foundations and Intermediate

Talita and Boina recommended the book "Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes" which was translated into Portuguese by Novatec.

Mateus remembered very well our beloved command $ kubectl explain, which brings all the information about the desired component and also the direct link to the documentation.

And we still owed the information on whether you can retake the exam to "improve" your score, but we did not find this information; what exists is a way to request a "review" which is paid, $50 Trumps, and if you passed, the amount is refunded. You can check this and other information here.

We also have gigantic news for the Kubernetes community, we will have the Brazilian Kubernetes Community, learn more here.

And the recommendations of the week are:

Mateus Caruccio: Steering wheel for simulation games.

Ricardo Katz: St. Patrick's Run Run and drink in SP.

Talita Bernardes: Book - The Color of Our Sky by Amita Trasi.

Wellington (Boina): Spend time with his Daughter watching Frozen 2.

João Brito: Spend time with the best saga of all time — Star Wars.

That's all for this year, until next time and don't forget to share! #kubicast
