curriculum VS k9s

Also check out https://www.cncf.io/certification/cka/. One of the good links in resources is the exam curriculum.

My primary skills revolve around Linux/Docker/Kubernetes, AWS, and automation tools like Gitlab CI, Jenkins, etc. Of course I've picked up a ton of ancillary skills along the way, but these are the core of what I do. So if you do go down that route look at the Kubernetes certs like the CKA, CKAD, and CKS. There are also -JP versions of each of those certs as well, which may be useful in the Japanese market. The CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) is a great organization to follow in this regard: https://www.cncf.io/certification/training/ - They have other non-Kubernetes certs as well.

Here’s the curriculum for the exam - https://github.com/cncf/curriculum/blob/master/CKAD_Curriculum_v1.23.pdf

It's not in the official CKAD syllabus either and I didn't encounter it the exam. Just my experience though. https://github.com/cncf/curriculum/blob/master/CKAD_Curriculum_v1.22.pdf

If you want some training, take a look at the Linux Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

I currently co-lead the documentation efforts for Kubernetes & LitmusChaos, am a CNCF ambassador, have spoken at global events, and have even co-led the creation & review of the KCNA certification. I intend to continue and plan on writing/speaking more about cloud native & open source. My target is to get myself CKA & CKAD certified by Q1, 2022 & continue exploring other avenues of the projects I can contribute to.

I'm preparing for the CKAD exam. I am following the https://github.com/cncf/curriculum/blob/master/CKAD_Curriculum_V1.21.pdf curriculum for my preparation. There is however another one https://github.com/cncf/curriculum/blob/master/CKAD-2021_Curriculum_Coming_Q3_2021.pdf.

Pierre: The first tool I recommend is K9s. It's not just a time-saver but a productivity booster. With its intuitive interface, you can speed up all the usual kubectl commands, access logs, edit resources and configurations, and more. It's like having a personal assistant for your cluster management tasks.

The last thing you really need is a common set of tools that you want fingertip access to. I really commonly use LazyGit and K9s in my day job so those are the tools I will show off in this article.

K9s is your best friend (get it? 🐶) when exploring your cluster via the terminal. It shares commonality with Vim for its interaction style using shortcuts and starting commands with: but don’t let that discourage you. K9s keeps a vigilant eye on Kubernetes activities, providing real-time information and intuitive commands for resource interaction.

k9s: brew install k9s

I would like to put in a vote for k9s, which is also on the list at Terminal Trove. [0] It's the most convenient tool I've ever found for Kubernetes management. Based on that experience I'll definitely be checking out Harlequin.

$ wget https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.29.1/k9s_Darwin_amd64.tar.gz $ tar -xzf k9s_Darwin_amd64.tar.gz $ sudo mv k9s /usr/local/bin/

All in all, run things, do some kubectl apply -f something.yml every day, install k9s, and try to configure a big one cluster at some point.

(K9s is one of my favorite tools for navigating Kubernetes clusters through the CLI).

K9s is an open-source, terminal-based UI for interacting with your Kubernetes clusters, making navigating, observing, and managing your apps easier. If you use Kubectl but wish it was easier and faster to use, K9s might be just what you're looking for!
