and 150 comments in the next 24 hours please try to do that and please try to support please try to share this video as much as possible and without any further Ado let's start with this video okay so let's start with uh like I've already shared all the details in the GitHub repo in day 41 folder so you can go through that but let me walk you through it and let me explain the important steps that are there are part of it so uh first thing you have to remember this should be served as the last guide before you are appearing into the exam like don't just rely on this make sure you complete all the task given from day 1 to day 40 and make sure you watch all the videos so that you get the clear understanding of all the concepts all the important tasks that we have done as part of this series so this is really important and if you are someone who's already working with the kubernetes for quite some time then it's then you can skip those and you can move ahead with this one which is the last minute preparation and so on right so for the exam preparation um let's have a look at all these points so so first before registering make sure you look for Discount available right so on the Linux Foundation website they usually have 25 to 40% discount on these exams and they and these offers uh come quite frequently so make sure if it's not there you should wait for it and once it is there you can Avail that offer so for example if I check this out for today today is what uh 24th July um let me go back to the home home and there should be some offer running currently as well okay let's see Linux Foundation okay and um yeah over here you see it says uh a salute to Sis admin save up to $400 on training and certification so if I click enroll now and you see there are some discount available um so for example the power bundle CK plus ckad it used to be $1,190 now it is $790 so there is a discount of $400 which is a good amount and like on other as well there are a discount of $400 like these two bundle these two certification bundle and for cka plus cks they also have $400 discount so make sure you Avail these type of discounts whenever it is there plus it has some refer draw as as well uh which says you can there is a chance to win the prize and here are the prizes so yeah check it out uh on the Linux Foundation website there should always be something running as part of promotion if not just wait for some time and it will come okay so let's go back to this okay uh talk about the format of the exam this is an online proctored exam that means there will be a proctor that will be watching you while you are uh giving the exam and they'll be monitoring for any suspicious activity so make sure you read all the dos and Dawns and uh there is no need to visit an exam Center for this it will be an online exam right study material um yes make sure uh you follow this exam guide it has the details like the exam format task and all the crucial details make sure just go through it and I'm I'm going I'm going to explain all the important parts over here but make sure you go through that as well then we have the checklist make sure you complete the exam checklist beforehand and then schedule the exam so checklist item includes um few details such as you know uh verify your name upload an ID check your system requirement whether it is compatible with the PSI Chrome extension or not get the candidate head book and read the important instructions and so on yeah so this is a small task should be done within few minutes so make sure you do that before the exam to avoid any last minute delay during the exam then have the sample test so once you register for the exam uh they will provide you complimentary access to killer. platform so killer Dosh which is I believe it is so this is the simulation environment that you will get and it is similar to what you get in the exam right so make sure uh you go through that once you register for the exam you will get two labs and there'll be timer associated with it but you can reset the timer and this particular uh um simulated environment will give you the real feel of the exam but the important thing to remember is these tasks given in this killer Dosh practice test this will be much harder than the actual exam so if you feel like you are not able to complete the task or you are able to complete only few task that's okay because it was supposed to be uh harder than the exam right but it will give you a good feel about the exam now um if you want to practice more other than these two uh sample exams that that will be given to you you can go to killer coda. com which is again a lab based environment and it will provide you a free access to all those uh things right so you can go to you know CK certification path over here and there are various scenarios published so there are different creators and then uh you can go to either of those SC arios and it will provision a cluster for you and it will have some misconfiguration or there'll be a task for you to uh complete and you can do that so there are different tasks created for you already yeah so you can take advantage of this as well okay and but if you have followed the entire playlist and you have completed the task in each of the videos that's been provided on your local platform installation that should be good enough right but there are certain tasks like like troubleshooting uh or you know cluster failures and so on so sometimes uh it needs more practice and then you can use uh platforms like these all right uh then we also have this exam rules and policy so make sure you read that for all the dos and Dawn um uh code of conduct uh like what is allowed what is not allowed and so on what will be there in the exam sandbox like there'll be a note pad in the exam uh cluster itself so you can use that and all other applications that will be there uh it will be provided over here okay um then you should also get yourself familiarized with the exam UI otherwise you can waste few minutes in understanding the exam uh UI so you can uh have a look at these uh screenshots and it will give you idea like on the left side there'll be a question there be task and over here uh there'll be a remote desktop button so you can change the tabs from here and here is the button to end the exam there will be a read me file and you can access the applications from that and if you go over here uh here's how you can open the terminal window by clicking on the application and terminal emulator so it will be opened as a new tab and if you want you can open the Firefox as well when you have to access the kubernetes documentation so so you open the Firefox and it will be appeared as a separate tab over here right so make sure you get yourself familiarized with these things and how you can make some changes you know resizing the terminal of by drag drop the borders and so on so uh all the information is provided over here okay so make sure you go through all these links and then there is also a link for frequently Asked question for CK exam so go through that now this is for all the preparation and everything now let's say you have registered for the exam you have gone through all of these and now this is the exam day so during exam you have to remember these things that you will be provided with a virtual machine running on uent 2 So currently it is running on ubben 2 latest 20.
02 as of July 2024 but it will upgrade as soon as there is a new version available or a compatible kubernetes version available right and as of July 24 um 2024 the exam send is running on the latest kubernetes version which is 1. 30 okay so make sure you do all the practice in this particular version then uh as I've said uh the web browser is available to access within the exam sandbox and access to these two domains are allowed kubernetes doio dos kubernetes do allow.
