Great practical book to get comprehensive understanding of Kubernetes Architecture/components/functionality. Thing I liked most, the way whole content is categorized into 3 parts "Installation-Configuration/Managing/Troubleshooting", makes it easy to follow. Also, the diagrams, try and validate style of teaching, is truly engaging.Highly recommend as one of the key tools to prepare for Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam.

This book is a comprehensive resource for individuals preparing to take the CKA exam. The book covers all of the topics included on the exam, including installation and configuration, networking, scheduling, security, and troubleshooting. The author provides clear explanations of key concepts and offers practical examples to help readers gain a deep understanding of Kubernetes. Additionally, the book includes practice questions and a sample exam to help readers test their knowledge and prepare for the real test. I especially like how it's geared towards folks who may have less experience with k8s, but even those who are seasoned professionals can pick up some important tips for the exam. Overall, this guide is a valuable resource for anyone looking to become a Certified Kubernetes Administrator.

Kubernetes as a platform/system can be hard to wrap your head around for even the most experienced. Taking the CKA exam is a great way to ensure that you've learned the most you can to effectively use Kubernetes in your day to day workflows, or to level up for that next gig.The CKA Exam Guide is a great read that will help ensure that you're ready to pass the CKA exam, and check all the boxes that you'll need in your Kubernetes toolkit! As an experience Kubernetes user, I walked away with new learnings from this book, but it's often written in a way that even those newer to the Kubernetes ecosystem can follow along without being overwhelmed

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
