  2. one I did my my one I did my my cka uh over two years ago and that was cka uh over two years ago and that was cka uh over two years ago and that was tough because at that point I hadn't had tough because at that point I hadn't had tough because at that point I hadn't had any I didn't have years of experience any I didn't have years of experience any I didn't have years of experience with kubernetes I I I knew what it was with kubernetes I I I knew what it was with kubernetes I I I knew what it was and and and what it did and how it and and and what it did and how it and and and what it did and how it worked but it's not that I was working worked but it's not that I was working worked but it's not that I was working with it every day so that was definitely with it every day so that was definitely with it every day so that was definitely a big hurdle and and and a uh massive a big hurdle and and and a uh massive a big hurdle and and and a uh massive effort I had to do there and then now effort I had to do there and then now effort I had to do there and then now with the with the with the cks that one had been on my radar for cks that one had been on my radar for cks that one had been on my radar for for years like that was really a a point for years like that was really a a point for years like that was really a a point on the horizon that I was working on the horizon that I was working on the horizon that I was working towards and now I have it and and I did towards and now I have it and and I did towards and now I have it and and I did it by uh well following the course it by uh well following the course it by uh well following the course there's an 11-hour course on YouTube and there's an 11-hour course on YouTube and there's an 11-hour course on YouTube and I I diligently work my way through that I I diligently work my way through that I I diligently work my way through that and I made sure not to progress before I and I made sure not to progress before I and I made sure not to progress before I fully understood what it was about like fully understood what it was about like fully understood what it was about like what the subject matter was about when I what the subject matter was about when I what the subject matter was about when I was watching it sometimes you have to was watching it sometimes you have to was watching it sometimes you have to get you get the tendency to just keep get you get the tendency to just keep get you get the tendency to just keep watching and and you're just powering watching and and you're just powering watching and and you're just powering through the course but not this time I through the course but not this time I through the course but not this time I really made sure that I understood it really made sure that I understood it really made sure that I understood it fully before I made the the before I fully before I made the the before I fully before I made the the before I started the next module of the course started the next module of the course started the next module of the course and then there is the killer Koda and then there is the killer Koda and then there is the killer Koda scenarios I did a lot of practice on scenarios I did a lot of practice on scenarios I did a lot of practice on those I completed all of them for the Cs those I completed all of them for the Cs those I completed all of them for the Cs multiple times over and I live streamed multiple times over and I live streamed multiple times over and I live streamed a lot of it

  3. a lot of it a lot of it too and um I did I I put a large too and um I did I I put a large too and um I did I I put a large emphasis on network policies and arback emphasis on network policies and arback emphasis on network policies and arback role-based access control creating role-based access control creating role-based access control creating service accounts creating users creating service accounts creating users creating service accounts creating users creating cluster roles creating roles and role cluster roles creating roles and role cluster roles creating roles and role Bindings that was one of my weak points Bindings that was one of my weak points Bindings that was one of my weak points and now I feel like I have really and now I feel like I have really and now I feel like I have really mastered that and the network policies mastered that and the network policies mastered that and the network policies too I'm using S in my home lab and that too I'm using S in my home lab and that too I'm using S in my home lab and that really simplifies Network policies but really simplifies Network policies but really simplifies Network policies but now I really learned how to do Network now I really learned how to do Network now I really learned how to do Network policies properly um in the classic way policies properly um in the classic way policies properly um in the classic way so to so to so to speak so yeah I I figure has been about speak so yeah I I figure has been about speak so yeah I I figure has been about 80 hours and I I did about one or two 80 hours and I I did about one or two 80 hours and I I did about one or two hours a day after work and in the hours a day after work and in the hours a day after work and in the weekends I did yeah maybe six to8 hours weekends I did yeah maybe six to8 hours weekends I did yeah maybe six to8 hours of cks studies and especially the last of cks studies and especially the last of cks studies and especially the last weekend I did the killer s marathons weekend I did the killer s marathons weekend I did the killer s marathons because when you sign up for the cks because when you sign up for the cks because when you sign up for the cks exam you get two free passes on the exam you get two free passes on the exam you get two free passes on the killer sh and each pass is valid for 36 killer sh and each pass is valid for 36 killer sh and each pass is valid for 36 hours and you can just do the the exams hours and you can just do the the exams hours and you can just do the the exams over and over as much as you like during over and over as much as you like during over and over as much as you like during those 36 hours it's one exam of 20 those 36 hours it's one exam of 20 those 36 hours it's one exam of 20 questions and it's really tough and by questions and it's really tough and by questions and it's really tough and by the end of the weekend I I managed to do the end of the weekend I I managed to do the end of the weekend I I managed to do it uh with I do manag to do all of the it uh with I do manag to do all of the it uh with I do manag to do all of the 20 questions within the two hours and it 20 questions within the two hours and it 20 questions within the two hours and it uh it uh I I felt very confident for the

  4. uh it uh I I felt very confident for the uh it uh I I felt very confident for the exam but man the exam was tough wow exam but man the exam was tough wow exam but man the exam was tough wow there were a few questions that I didn't there were a few questions that I didn't there were a few questions that I didn't get around to answering at all and I'm get around to answering at all and I'm get around to answering at all and I'm I'm fast in the terminal I I know teox I I'm fast in the terminal I I know teox I I'm fast in the terminal I I know teox I know Vim I I I wasn't stumbling with know Vim I I I wasn't stumbling with know Vim I I I wasn't stumbling with that at all I didn't I've gotten to the that at all I didn't I've gotten to the that at all I didn't I've gotten to the point that I don't need to think about point that I don't need to think about point that I don't need to think about the key bindings to open a new window in the key bindings to open a new window in the key bindings to open a new window in in t-mo or Vim it it happens just in t-mo or Vim it it happens just in t-mo or Vim it it happens just automatically and still I was struggling automatically and still I was struggling automatically and still I was struggling with time and I wasn't relying on the with time and I wasn't relying on the with time and I wasn't relying on the documentation too much but it it's a documentation too much but it it's a documentation too much but it it's a really tough exam because of the time really tough exam because of the time really tough exam because of the time pressure but I also learn a lot in the pressure but I also learn a lot in the pressure but I also learn a lot in the process from these studies I feel much process from these studies I feel much process from these studies I feel much more confident about uh deploying more confident about uh deploying more confident about uh deploying workloads to kubernetes in production I workloads to kubernetes in production I workloads to kubernetes in production I know what it means what containers can know what it means what containers can know what it means what containers can do on a a kernel level like making CIS do on a a kernel level like making CIS do on a a kernel level like making CIS calls to the kernel and that has be M calls to the kernel and that has be M calls to the kernel and that has be M has become much more clear to me how how has become much more clear to me how how has become much more clear to me how how containers are actually run on these containers are actually run on these containers are actually run on these kinds of systems and I always Envision kinds of systems and I always Envision kinds of systems and I always Envision that there would be a sort of Separation that there would be a sort of Separation that there would be a sort of Separation layer uh between the kernel and the layer uh between the kernel and the layer uh between the kernel and the containers but actually if you just containers but actually if you just containers but actually if you just vanilla it it is actually just making vanilla it it is actually just making vanilla it it is actually just making CIS calls to the kernel directly and if CIS calls to the kernel directly and if CIS calls to the kernel directly and if you if you're not careful you can just you if you're not careful you can just you if you're not careful you can just interact with the host operating system interact with the host operating system interact with the host operating system so it has been extremely useful to get so it has been extremely useful to get so it has been extremely useful to get more deeper insight into this and um more deeper insight into this and um more deeper insight into this and um yeah it definitely made me more

  5. yeah it definitely made me more yeah it definitely made me more confident in my capabilities as a confident in my capabilities as a confident in my capabilities as a kubernetes kubernetes kubernetes engineer so yes the cks was a big engineer so yes the cks was a big engineer so yes the cks was a big journey and it it has been a while since journey and it it has been a while since journey and it it has been a while since I took a proper certification like that I took a proper certification like that I took a proper certification like that and it was good to be back in that uh and it was good to be back in that uh and it was good to be back in that uh exam mode that that sort of healthy exam mode that that sort of healthy exam mode that that sort of healthy stress that you get in in preparation stress that you get in in preparation stress that you get in in preparation for it but also during the the exam for it but also during the the exam for it but also during the the exam itself it was a good reminder itself it was a good reminder itself it was a good reminder and it it really brought me back into and it it really brought me back into and it it really brought me back into what I've done to achieve this point what I've done to achieve this point what I've done to achieve this point where I am now uh which yeah has led to where I am now uh which yeah has led to where I am now uh which yeah has led to me being recognized as an me being recognized as an me being recognized as an MVP uh I I'm just so happy that MVP uh I I'm just so happy that MVP uh I I'm just so happy that Microsoft has acknowledged my efforts Microsoft has acknowledged my efforts Microsoft has acknowledged my efforts because every day man every day because every day man every day because every day man every day like um during the work week but also in like um during the work week but also in like um during the work week but also in the weekends I am always studying the weekends I am always studying the weekends I am always studying writing blogs exploring new technologies writing blogs exploring new technologies writing blogs exploring new technologies keeping up to dat with the tech and keeping up to dat with the tech and keeping up to dat with the tech and sharing it back to the community making sharing it back to the community making sharing it back to the community making videos making blogs and I've been doing videos making blogs and I've been doing videos making blogs and I've been doing it for years and years and for Microsoft it for years and years and for Microsoft it for years and years and for Microsoft to come out and to actually um yeah to come out and to actually um yeah to come out and to actually um yeah acknowledge me for that with this award acknowledge me for that with this award acknowledge me for that with this award acknowledging me as a community leader acknowledging me as a community leader acknowledging me as a community leader as a subject matter expert in the as a subject matter expert in the as a subject matter expert in the category that I am awarded in which is category that I am awarded in which is category that I am awarded in which is azure infrastructures code I'm just so azure infrastructures code I'm just so azure infrastructures code I'm just so so happy about that and it really feels

  6. so happy about that and it really feels so happy about that and it really feels like a a huge achievement and and yeah like a a huge achievement and and yeah like a a huge achievement and and yeah how do I call it it's one of Life life's how do I call it it's one of Life life's how do I call it it's one of Life life's goals like MVP you don't really do to as goals like MVP you don't really do to as goals like MVP you don't really do to as a goal like I I'm going to become an MVP a goal like I I'm going to become an MVP a goal like I I'm going to become an MVP I didn't even know what MVP was nine I didn't even know what MVP was nine I didn't even know what MVP was nine months ago I was just already doing the months ago I was just already doing the months ago I was just already doing the things that are needed and then when I things that are needed and then when I things that are needed and then when I found out about it then I figured it it found out about it then I figured it it found out about it then I figured it it would align with my with my what I was would align with my with my what I was would align with my with my what I was already doing but I didn't do all the already doing but I didn't do all the already doing but I didn't do all the blogging and the videos uh with the blogging and the videos uh with the blogging and the videos uh with the intention to become an MVP because it intention to become an MVP because it intention to become an MVP because it won't work that way Microsoft will won't work that way Microsoft will won't work that way Microsoft will notice so it is a huge thing there's notice so it is a huge thing there's notice so it is a huge thing there's only 4,000 people in the world and I only 4,000 people in the world and I only 4,000 people in the world and I really feel acknowledged for all of my really feel acknowledged for all of my really feel acknowledged for all of my efforts and um yeah that is I just feel efforts and um yeah that is I just feel efforts and um yeah that is I just feel so so so so what do you say it feels weird it so what do you say it feels weird it so what do you say it feels weird it really feels weird that really feels weird that really feels weird that I like i' I've really made a a huge I like i' I've really made a a huge I like i' I've really made a a huge change in my life when I changed my change in my life when I changed my change in my life when I changed my career to career to career to it and I really worked hard for it hard it and I really worked hard for it hard it and I really worked hard for it hard hard and I still work hard every day I hard and I still work hard every day I hard and I still work hard every day I work 12 hours a day on the goals that I work 12 hours a day on the goals that I work 12 hours a day on the goals that I want to achieve and I sacrifice a lot want to achieve and I sacrifice a lot want to achieve and I sacrifice a lot for it and then to get this recognition for it and then to get this recognition for it and then to get this recognition it just feels good and it also will take it just feels good and it also will take it just feels good and it also will take use I need to get used to the status use I need to get used to the status use I need to get used to the status that I have now that people are reaching that I have now that people are reaching that I have now that people are reaching out to me for things that I had never out to me for things that I had never out to me for things that I had never imagined possible so that is definitely

  7. imagined possible so that is definitely imagined possible so that is definitely uh opening up doors and new networking uh opening up doors and new networking uh opening up doors and new networking opportunities that I am going to embrace opportunities that I am going to embrace opportunities that I am going to embrace and uh it will require me to get out of and uh it will require me to get out of and uh it will require me to get out of my comfort zone more as well with these my comfort zone more as well with these my comfort zone more as well with these kinds of things but that is good because kinds of things but that is good because kinds of things but that is good because there's no growth without pain there's there's no growth without pain there's there's no growth without pain there's no growth without friction and this is no growth without friction and this is no growth without friction and this is definitely some an area that I am going definitely some an area that I am going definitely some an area that I am going to explore and grow more in so feeling to explore and grow more in so feeling to explore and grow more in so feeling really good about really good about really good about that and then yeah I I have um also the that and then yeah I I have um also the that and then yeah I I have um also the work on my school Community has been work on my school Community has been work on my school Community has been going uh going strong we are growing going uh going strong we are growing going uh going strong we are growing steadily and I started it a few months steadily and I started it a few months steadily and I started it a few months ago not knowing what was going to happen ago not knowing what was going to happen ago not knowing what was going to happen and to see that we now have 135 members and to see that we now have 135 members and to see that we now have 135 members already it's just amazing and and not already it's just amazing and and not already it's just amazing and and not just because of the interaction that I just because of the interaction that I just because of the interaction that I have with the community but also to see have with the community but also to see have with the community but also to see the community members interacting the community members interacting the community members interacting amongst themselves is just so much fun amongst themselves is just so much fun amongst themselves is just so much fun and and to see and it gives me so much and and to see and it gives me so much and and to see and it gives me so much satisfaction to see you literally satisfaction to see you literally satisfaction to see you literally relationships starting to form and relationships starting to form and relationships starting to form and people helping each other and and like people helping each other and and like people helping each other and and like encouraging each other along the way for encouraging each other along the way for encouraging each other along the way for their certification goals people their certification goals people their certification goals people learning to ask for help and to become learning to ask for help and to become learning to ask for help and to become better professionals and yes it better professionals and yes it better professionals and yes it is uh it is something really really is uh it is something really really is uh it is something really really great is happening there and I don't

  8. great is happening there and I don't great is happening there and I don't regret it for a day that I did it uh regret it for a day that I did it uh regret it for a day that I did it uh even though it's costing me quite a lot even though it's costing me quite a lot even though it's costing me quite a lot of money with all of the Investments I of money with all of the Investments I of money with all of the Investments I have to do into it and I have to spend have to do into it and I have to spend have to do into it and I have to spend one two hours I mean I say I have to but one two hours I mean I say I have to but one two hours I mean I say I have to but I I spend at least one one two hours a I I spend at least one one two hours a I I spend at least one one two hours a day on either researching for courses day on either researching for courses day on either researching for courses creating courses uh interacting with the creating courses uh interacting with the creating courses uh interacting with the community making myself available for community making myself available for community making myself available for Q&A calls and and and having direct Q&A calls and and and having direct Q&A calls and and and having direct contact with the community but it is a a contact with the community but it is a a contact with the community but it is a a labor of love it's it's really is a labor of love it's it's really is a labor of love it's it's really is a feeling that I'm building something feeling that I'm building something feeling that I'm building something great here something that has great great here something that has great great here something that has great potential for people who want to break potential for people who want to break potential for people who want to break into the industry or who want to lift into the industry or who want to lift into the industry or who want to lift themselves up and yeah like I said in themselves up and yeah like I said in themselves up and yeah like I said in one of my recent videos I I haven't had one of my recent videos I I haven't had one of my recent videos I I haven't had to ban a single person yet in these few to ban a single person yet in these few to ban a single person yet in these few months I had expected that it would months I had expected that it would months I had expected that it would be like a lot of Community Management be like a lot of Community Management be like a lot of Community Management and that fights would break out and and that fights would break out and and that fights would break out and people would be unkind to each other but people would be unkind to each other but people would be unkind to each other but that hasn't happened at all it's just that hasn't happened at all it's just that hasn't happened at all it's just kind people and that I think that's kind people and that I think that's kind people and that I think that's because there's this phrase that I've because there's this phrase that I've because there's this phrase that I've heard I I forget where but it says you heard I I forget where but it says you heard I I forget where but it says you attract that which you are and I an attract that which you are and I an attract that which you are and I an ambitious guy who is calm and who is ambitious guy who is calm and who is ambitious guy who is calm and who is kind and who treats people well and I I kind and who treats people well and I I kind and who treats people well and I I am attracting the same people it is a
