Kubernetes Made Easy (v1.35) Course

hello

The following additions will be made to the CKA exam, which many people are interested in, after November 25, 2024 .

Gateway API
Helm
Kustomize
CRDs & Operators
etc.

This content is intended to be as close to actual Kubernetes as possible (which is actually correct...) and to match the form used in the industry as much as possible.

Since the official page only provides the syllabus, here is an estimated summary from another link:

Storage : Emphasis on dynamic volume provisioning and detailed management of volume types, access modes, and reclaim policies .
Troubleshooting : Expanded focus on network services and connectivity along with cluster and node diagnostics.
Workloads & Scheduling : New focus on Pod admission, node affinity, and autoscaling .
Networking: New focus on Gateway API to manage Ingress traffic and coreDNS. Also expanded focus on coreDNS.
Cluster Architecture : Added Helm, Kustomize , and extension interfaces like CNI, CSI, and CRI. CRDs and Operators are now included.

To explain this again in Korean, including my personal opinion,

Storage : Isn't it more important to manage the lifecycle using storageclass rather than creating pv and pvc?

Troubleshooting : Wasn't the troubleshooting we've done so far just fixing things too simply? We need to create more patterns that analyze the network or node status.

Workloads & Scheduling : Up until now, we have simply used scale, but we need to use various scheduling techniques and go through some admissions, and we need to pay attention to security.

Networking: Now is the era of Gateway API! Should I include it in the exam? And coreDNS, which I didn't care about, is actually an essential element in practice, so I should include it in the exam.

Cluster Architecture : Helm is something that everyone is already using, and customization (Kustomize) and some operators/plugins are also important elements, so we should include them in the test. In fact, if you have already configured a cluster, everyone is already using CRD.

It is estimated that. Roughly speaking, it seems that the intention is to incorporate things that are actually used in practice into CKA, and it seems that those who are actually doing practical work will not be greatly affected... However, those who approached the exam as an exam may find some elements confusing.

If you want to experience this change, I recommend postponing your exam until after November 25th, and if your goal is to obtain the certificate before then, I recommend obtaining it as soon as possible 🙂
