CKS Study Guide 2024 - PASS your Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist Exam

hi there my name is Misha I'm a hi there my name is Misha I'm a Microsoft MVP and today we're going to Microsoft MVP and today we're going to Microsoft MVP and today we're going to take a look at the cks certification the take a look at the cks certification the take a look at the cks certification the certified kubernetes security specialist certified kubernetes security specialist certified kubernetes security specialist by the end of this video you will learn by the end of this video you will learn by the end of this video you will learn which materials you need to prepare how which materials you need to prepare how which materials you need to prepare how to prepare what to expect from the exam to prepare what to expect from the exam to prepare what to expect from the exam and also how to get help when you get and also how to get help when you get and also how to get help when you get stuck so let's dive into it I took this stuck so let's dive into it I took this stuck so let's dive into it I took this exam two weeks ago and it was a really exam two weeks ago and it was a really exam two weeks ago and it was a really tough one and I have several years of tough one and I have several years of tough one and I have several years of kubernetes experience now and still it kubernetes experience now and still it kubernetes experience now and still it was really really tough so just to was really really tough so just to was really really tough so just to preface preface this that it is it is a preface preface this that it is it is a preface preface this that it is it is a tough exam to get it has literally been tough exam to get it has literally been tough exam to get it has literally been one of the live one of my life's goals one of the live one of my life's goals one of the live one of my life's goals to get this one but when you get it you to get this one but when you get it you to get this one but when you get it you do get to you do get a really good do get to you do get a really good do get to you do get a really good understanding of container security and understanding of container security and understanding of container security and and securing kubernetes clusters like and securing kubernetes clusters like and securing kubernetes clusters like that's literally what the the exam is that's literally what the the exam is that's literally what the the exam is about but it does that really well it about but it does that really well it about but it does that really well it does force you to learn these things so does force you to learn these things so does force you to learn these things so let let's let let's just read a bit what let let's let let's just read a bit what let let's let let's just read a bit what the certification entails so the cks is the certification entails so the cks is the certification entails so the cks is a performance-based certification exam a performance-based certification exam a performance-based certification exam that test the candidates knowledge of that test the candidates knowledge of that test the candidates knowledge of kubernetes and Cloud Security in a kubernetes and Cloud Security in a kubernetes and Cloud Security in a simulated real world environment so this simulated real world environment so this simulated real world environment so this means that it is Performance Based just means that it is Performance Based just means that it is Performance Based just like the cka you get an environment with like the cka you get an environment with like the cka you get an environment with 12 12 questions that you need to solve 12 12 questions that you need to solve 12 12 questions that you need to solve within two hours so you really need to within two hours so you really need to within two hours so you really need to perform on under time pressure and the perform on under time pressure and the perform on under time pressure and the candidates must have taken the uh and candidates must have taken the uh and candidates must have taken the uh and pass the cka exam so you must have the

pass the cka exam so you must have the pass the cka exam so you must have the cka active in order to be able to take cka active in order to be able to take cka active in order to be able to take this exam so that's one important thing this exam so that's one important thing this exam so that's one important thing to to to note um and it demonstrates that um the note um and it demonstrates that um the note um and it demonstrates that um the candidate possesses the requisite candidate possesses the requisite candidate possesses the requisite abilities to secure container-based abilities to secure container-based abilities to secure container-based applications and kubernetes platforms applications and kubernetes platforms applications and kubernetes platforms during build deployment and runtime and during build deployment and runtime and during build deployment and runtime and is qualified to perform these tasks in a is qualified to perform these tasks in a is qualified to perform these tasks in a professional setting so it really goes professional setting so it really goes professional setting so it really goes out and says here that if you're able to out and says here that if you're able to out and says here that if you're able to pass this exam you are ready to work pass this exam you are ready to work pass this exam you are ready to work with kubernetes clusters in production with kubernetes clusters in production with kubernetes clusters in production like if I would get a candidate and he like if I would get a candidate and he like if I would get a candidate and he had he has a home lab and he has this had he has a home lab and he has this had he has a home lab and he has this exam then I would have no no doubts exam then I would have no no doubts exam then I would have no no doubts about uh letting him do production about uh letting him do production about uh letting him do production upgrades and things like that because it upgrades and things like that because it upgrades and things like that because it is a tough one you need to know your is a tough one you need to know your is a tough one you need to know your stuff for this exam but that's good stuff for this exam but that's good stuff for this exam but that's good that's what what these exams are for that's what what these exams are for that's what what these exams are for and uh yeah it demonstrates a bro broad and uh yeah it demonstrates a bro broad and uh yeah it demonstrates a bro broad range of best practices for securing range of best practices for securing range of best practices for securing container B based applications and container B based applications and container B based applications and kubernetes platform so it is and like kubernetes platform so it is and like kubernetes platform so it is and like not just like regardless of the not just like regardless of the not just like regardless of the certification doing this one take doing certification doing this one take doing certification doing this one take doing the path and getting the certification the path and getting the certification the path and getting the certification has been extremely valuable for my own has been extremely valuable for my own has been extremely valuable for my own understanding in my daily work and I I understanding in my daily work and I I understanding in my daily work and I I feel like I'm I understand it much much feel like I'm I understand it much much feel like I'm I understand it much much better now these days um now that I have better now these days um now that I have better now these days um now that I have this under my belt so the certification this under my belt so the certification this under my belt so the certification and requirements we just went through and requirements we just went through and requirements we just went through those basically uh the passing score is

those basically uh the passing score is those basically uh the passing score is 67% so that is um it it is quite you 67% so that is um it it is quite you 67% so that is um it it is quite you need to have the majority of the need to have the majority of the need to have the majority of the questions properly questions properly questions properly answered um now for the materials there answered um now for the materials there answered um now for the materials there is a 11-hour YouTube course from the is a 11-hour YouTube course from the is a 11-hour YouTube course from the creator of killer Coda this is it I the creator of killer Coda this is it I the creator of killer Coda this is it I the link will be down in the below in the link will be down in the below in the link will be down in the below in the description this used to be a paid udy description this used to be a paid udy description this used to be a paid udy course but he recently released it for course but he recently released it for course but he recently released it for free on YouTube so thank you very much free on YouTube so thank you very much free on YouTube so thank you very much Kim for that and yeah it is an 11-hour Kim for that and yeah it is an 11-hour Kim for that and yeah it is an 11-hour course it is very well structured it is course it is very well structured it is course it is very well structured it is a bit low quality on on the video and a bit low quality on on the video and a bit low quality on on the video and the audio but the the actual content is the audio but the the actual content is the audio but the the actual content is is great he does a great job of is great he does a great job of is great he does a great job of explaining things and he really goes out explaining things and he really goes out explaining things and he really goes out of his way to visualize things and this of his way to visualize things and this of his way to visualize things and this course is all you need and it's course is all you need and it's course is all you need and it's completely for completely for completely for free now this course also ref refers to free now this course also ref refers to free now this course also ref refers to killer Koda and you have very likely killer Koda and you have very likely killer Koda and you have very likely used this when you did your cka because used this when you did your cka because used this when you did your cka because I'm I'm assuming you already did your I'm I'm assuming you already did your I'm I'm assuming you already did your cka when you're looking at this video cka when you're looking at this video cka when you're looking at this video but to if you need to refresh your but to if you need to refresh your but to if you need to refresh your memory this is just the the cks section memory this is just the the cks section memory this is just the the cks section of the killer Koda and it has all of of the killer Koda and it has all of of the killer Koda and it has all of these um little scenarios that you do these um little scenarios that you do these um little scenarios that you do and you you click on it and then you get and you you click on it and then you get and you you click on it and then you get an environment and oh I have I haven't an environment and oh I have I haven't an environment and oh I have I haven't signed in even Wow Let's see if it um signed in even Wow Let's see if it um signed in even Wow Let's see if it um yeah here we go so here here you will yeah here we go so here here you will yeah here we go so here here you will see the you get a bit of an environment see the you get a bit of an environment see the you get a bit of an environment and some questions and then you solve

and some questions and then you solve and some questions and then you solve them and then it's really good for them and then it's really good for them and then it's really good for practice for daily practice so as you practice for daily practice so as you practice for daily practice so as you see I have solved all of these scenarios see I have solved all of these scenarios see I have solved all of these scenarios to um do my preparation so man if you're to um do my preparation so man if you're to um do my preparation so man if you're going through the course he is going to going through the course he is going to going through the course he is going to refer to the killer Cod of scenarios and refer to the killer Cod of scenarios and refer to the killer Cod of scenarios and he will tell you which ones to solve so he will tell you which ones to solve so he will tell you which ones to solve so that is a very nice structured way of uh that is a very nice structured way of uh that is a very nice structured way of uh of doing it um next I highly suggest of doing it um next I highly suggest of doing it um next I highly suggest you find some sort of community to help you find some sort of community to help you find some sort of community to help you with your studies I run a school you with your studies I run a school you with your studies I run a school Community this is my premium School Community this is my premium School Community this is my premium School Community we have about 146 members in Community we have about 146 members in Community we have about 146 members in here and here we all gather and we have here and here we all gather and we have here and here we all gather and we have even have a a separate certification even have a a separate certification even have a a separate certification board here where people are taking these board here where people are taking these board here where people are taking these exams sharing tips and asking questions exams sharing tips and asking questions exams sharing tips and asking questions when they get stuck and this this has when they get stuck and this this has when they get stuck and this this has been really valuable for me not only to been really valuable for me not only to been really valuable for me not only to ask questions when I got stuck because ask questions when I got stuck because ask questions when I got stuck because we have some very very very senior we have some very very very senior we have some very very very senior people in our in our group here but that people in our in our group here but that people in our in our group here but that already have these exams including me already have these exams including me already have these exams including me now but also to get some motivation like now but also to get some motivation like now but also to get some motivation like if you feel stuck or if you struggling if you feel stuck or if you struggling if you feel stuck or if you struggling to motivate yourself or to yeah put in to motivate yourself or to yeah put in to motivate yourself or to yeah put in another two hours when you're really another two hours when you're really another two hours when you're really tired you really can get help with uh tired you really can get help with uh tired you really can get help with uh from a community like this and um I also from a community like this and um I also from a community like this and um I also have a free community which you can join have a free community which you can join have a free community which you can join completely for free uh and here there's completely for free uh and here there's completely for free uh and here there's already some like-minded individuals already some like-minded individuals already some like-minded individuals visuals you can connect with but if you visuals you can connect with but if you visuals you can connect with but if you want to prepare for the exam uh there

want to prepare for the exam uh there want to prepare for the exam uh there are also courses here that you can are also courses here that you can are also courses here that you can consider taking that will definitely consider taking that will definitely consider taking that will definitely increase your productivity while increase your productivity while increase your productivity while studying because you will learn to take studying because you will learn to take studying because you will learn to take notes but also my kubernetes notes but also my kubernetes notes but also my kubernetes fundamentals scores is going to teach fundamentals scores is going to teach fundamentals scores is going to teach you all of these tricks that you need to you all of these tricks that you need to you all of these tricks that you need to know uh when you are taking the know uh when you are taking the know uh when you are taking the exam um because yeah if you already have exam um because yeah if you already have exam um because yeah if you already have your cka then you have you know the your cka then you have you know the your cka then you have you know the kubernetes fundamentals but this course kubernetes fundamentals but this course kubernetes fundamentals but this course definitely my course really goes deep definitely my course really goes deep definitely my course really goes deep into like how to use t-s how to become into like how to use t-s how to become into like how to use t-s how to become efficient with vim and how to generate efficient with vim and how to generate efficient with vim and how to generate yaml files quickly and how to search up yaml files quickly and how to search up yaml files quickly and how to search up information from Cube CTL quickly as you information from Cube CTL quickly as you information from Cube CTL quickly as you are doing the exam because let me tell are doing the exam because let me tell are doing the exam because let me tell you this exam is a tough one I have you this exam is a tough one I have you this exam is a tough one I have several years of kubernetes experience several years of kubernetes experience several years of kubernetes experience now and I I wasn't able to solve three now and I I wasn't able to solve three now and I I wasn't able to solve three questions because I literally didn't questions because I literally didn't questions because I literally didn't have time and I am fast in the terminal have time and I am fast in the terminal have time and I am fast in the terminal I am fast I can like tmox is not is just I am fast I can like tmox is not is just I am fast I can like tmox is not is just like an ex direct extension of my brain like an ex direct extension of my brain like an ex direct extension of my brain these days I don't have to think about these days I don't have to think about these days I don't have to think about what how do I split a window I can split what how do I split a window I can split what how do I split a window I can split windows and put them wherever I want windows and put them wherever I want windows and put them wherever I want with the the correct breadth with out with the the correct breadth with out with the the correct breadth with out thinking about it and I live in breathe thinking about it and I live in breathe thinking about it and I live in breathe Cube CTL I can look up information Cube CTL I can look up information Cube CTL I can look up information extremely quickly from the cube CTL help extremely quickly from the cube CTL help extremely quickly from the cube CTL help right there in the terminal with right there in the terminal with right there in the terminal with grapping so I was not losing time on grapping so I was not losing time on grapping so I was not losing time on that stuff but the the questions are that stuff but the the questions are that stuff but the the questions are just so big so so there's just so much

just so big so so there's just so much just so big so so there's just so much to to solve that you will run out of to to solve that you will run out of to to solve that you will run out of time and all the time you can save by time and all the time you can save by time and all the time you can save by becoming better and becoming blazing becoming better and becoming blazing becoming better and becoming blazing fast in the terminal that is all going fast in the terminal that is all going fast in the terminal that is all going to be of your benefit and my kuet to be of your benefit and my kuet to be of your benefit and my kuet fundamental scores is definitely going fundamental scores is definitely going fundamental scores is definitely going to help you with to help you with to help you with that so not only my courses but also that so not only my courses but also that so not only my courses but also this community aspect of asking this community aspect of asking this community aspect of asking questions and motivation is uh extremely questions and motivation is uh extremely questions and motivation is uh extremely useful if you're PR preparing for these useful if you're PR preparing for these useful if you're PR preparing for these exams now I also took a lot of notes exams now I also took a lot of notes exams now I also took a lot of notes that I have um published on my public that I have um published on my public that I have um published on my public zcast here zcast that Misha venberg zcast here zcast that Misha venberg zcast here zcast that Misha venberg Donnet and here there are just some Donnet and here there are just some Donnet and here there are just some notes that I took and these can be notes that I took and these can be notes that I took and these can be interesting for you to go through just interesting for you to go through just interesting for you to go through just to show you like these are all the to show you like these are all the to show you like these are all the things that I didn't know properly yet things that I didn't know properly yet things that I didn't know properly yet and that I figured I would need I needed and that I figured I would need I needed and that I figured I would need I needed to take notes on uh in order to to take notes on uh in order to to take notes on uh in order to facilitate my own understanding these facilitate my own understanding these facilitate my own understanding these are all publicly available and you can are all publicly available and you can are all publicly available and you can read through them to get an impression read through them to get an impression read through them to get an impression of oh these things he didn't know of oh these things he didn't know of oh these things he didn't know interestingly after several years of interestingly after several years of interestingly after several years of kuber's experience so there can be a bit kuber's experience so there can be a bit kuber's experience so there can be a bit of an insight there too and then finally of an insight there too and then finally of an insight there too and then finally there is killer s so when you sign up there is killer s so when you sign up there is killer s so when you sign up for the exam when you go here and then for the exam when you go here and then for the exam when you go here and then you enroll and you purchase it then you you enroll and you purchase it then you you enroll and you purchase it then you get two get two get two um rounds oh I'm spawning balloons in my um rounds oh I'm spawning balloons in my um rounds oh I'm spawning balloons in my but you get two rounds of uh kuber of um but you get two rounds of uh kuber of um but you get two rounds of uh kuber of um killer killer killer sh and uh this is just a an an exam

sh and uh this is just a an an exam sh and uh this is just a an an exam environment that um like is almost the environment that um like is almost the environment that um like is almost the same as the real exam the environment same as the real exam the environment same as the real exam the environment itself is is identical just the itself is is identical just the itself is is identical just the questions are a bit different it is questions are a bit different it is questions are a bit different it is intentionally harder than the actual intentionally harder than the actual intentionally harder than the actual exam uh but I found that the exam was exam uh but I found that the exam was exam uh but I found that the exam was just as hard as the Killer's age if not just as hard as the Killer's age if not just as hard as the Killer's age if not harder um I was able to like I did one harder um I was able to like I did one harder um I was able to like I did one whole weekend of killer S I did that for whole weekend of killer S I did that for whole weekend of killer S I did that for uh 36 hours I was just looping and uh 36 hours I was just looping and uh 36 hours I was just looping and looping and looping through it and by looping and looping through it and by looping and looping through it and by the end of that I was able to solve all the end of that I was able to solve all the end of that I was able to solve all of the 20 Questions within the 2hour of the 20 Questions within the 2hour of the 20 Questions within the 2hour limit and the 2hour limit uh is limit and the 2hour limit uh is limit and the 2hour limit uh is intentional I did for intentional I did for intentional I did for myself and the real exam has 12 myself and the real exam has 12 myself and the real exam has 12 questions questions so there's fewer questions questions so there's fewer questions questions so there's fewer questions I was able to solve all of questions I was able to solve all of questions I was able to solve all of them within the 2hour time limit but on them within the 2hour time limit but on them within the 2hour time limit but on the actual exam I had fewer questions the actual exam I had fewer questions the actual exam I had fewer questions and I was not able to solve three of and I was not able to solve three of and I was not able to solve three of them so I had less questions but still I them so I had less questions but still I them so I had less questions but still I didn't manage so yes it is a great didn't manage so yes it is a great didn't manage so yes it is a great indication of the exam but not indication of the exam but not indication of the exam but not necessarily a guarantee guarantee so this exam involves a lot of practice so this exam involves a lot of practice so this exam involves a lot of practice practice practice practice like like I practice practice practice like like I practice practice practice like like I was going like I was going off on just was going like I was going off on just was going like I was going off on just now you will need to be blazing fast in now you will need to be blazing fast in now you will need to be blazing fast in the terminal t-mo Vim Cube the terminal t-mo Vim Cube the terminal t-mo Vim Cube CTL like you need to be able to create a CTL like you need to be able to create a CTL like you need to be able to create a new window K create R binding and get

new window K create R binding and get new window K create R binding and get the help for that and then grab for the the help for that and then grab for the the help for that and then grab for the names names names space because you need to be able to get space because you need to be able to get space because you need to be able to get this example very quickly and see okay I this example very quickly and see okay I this example very quickly and see okay I need to create okay create R binding and need to create okay create R binding and need to create okay create R binding and then I need to provide a name and then I then I need to provide a name and then I then I need to provide a name and then I need to provide the cluster rle like you need to provide the cluster rle like you need to provide the cluster rle like you this is how this is the tempo that you this is how this is the tempo that you this is how this is the tempo that you need to be able to to do without need to be able to to do without need to be able to to do without thinking about it without stumbling if thinking about it without stumbling if thinking about it without stumbling if you're stumbling if you're thinking huh you're stumbling if you're thinking huh you're stumbling if you're thinking huh how do I create a role binding again in how do I create a role binding again in how do I create a role binding again in Cube Cube Cube CTL forget it so Ju Just A word of CTL forget it so Ju Just A word of CTL forget it so Ju Just A word of warning um so that you need to practice warning um so that you need to practice warning um so that you need to practice that but also there are a lot of uh that but also there are a lot of uh that but also there are a lot of uh points you can score with getting good points you can score with getting good points you can score with getting good at these getting fast and good at these at these getting fast and good at these at these getting fast and good at these two topics Network policies and two topics Network policies and two topics Network policies and role-based access role-based access role-based access control there will be a lot of questions control there will be a lot of questions control there will be a lot of questions about creating Network policies and and about creating Network policies and and about creating Network policies and and limiting the access within namespace limiting the access within namespace limiting the access within namespace from different namespaces and such like from different namespaces and such like from different namespaces and such like and there are going to be a lot of and there are going to be a lot of and there are going to be a lot of questions about role-based access questions about role-based access questions about role-based access control incidentally those were also my control incidentally those were also my control incidentally those were also my two weakest two weakest two weakest points prior to preparing for this exam points prior to preparing for this exam points prior to preparing for this exam so it has been really great practice so it has been really great practice so it has been really great practice this for me but I got this tip from a this for me but I got this tip from a this for me but I got this tip from a senior expert friend of mine who senior expert friend of mine who senior expert friend of mine who recently took the exam and he said focus recently took the exam and he said focus recently took the exam and he said focus on these two because those will score on these two because those will score on these two because those will score you a lot of uh points and what I mean you a lot of uh points and what I mean you a lot of uh points and what I mean by Focus is focus on daily practice so by Focus is focus on daily practice so by Focus is focus on daily practice so what I did I I I spent about a month

what I did I I I spent about a month what I did I I I spent about a month preparing for this exam you probably preparing for this exam you probably preparing for this exam you probably about two hours a day not every day about two hours a day not every day about two hours a day not every day almost every day and I figure it was almost every day and I figure it was almost every day and I figure it was about 80 hours of preparation about 80 hours of preparation about 80 hours of preparation with my experience level of two several with my experience level of two several with my experience level of two several years of managing kubernetes clusters in years of managing kubernetes clusters in years of managing kubernetes clusters in production and I every I went I would do production and I every I went I would do production and I every I went I would do about an hour hour and a half of course about an hour hour and a half of course about an hour hour and a half of course and kiloa scenarios and I would every and kiloa scenarios and I would every and kiloa scenarios and I would every day I would do a few um scenarios of day I would do a few um scenarios of day I would do a few um scenarios of network policies or rooll based access network policies or rooll based access network policies or rooll based access control on killer Koda so they are all control on killer Koda so they are all control on killer Koda so they are all about they're all sorted by topic so you about they're all sorted by topic so you about they're all sorted by topic so you can search here for Network [Music] [Music] Network like here you will see network Network like here you will see network Network like here you will see network policy create default deny Network policy create default deny Network policy create default deny Network policy metadata so I would do these but policy metadata so I would do these but policy metadata so I would do these but also uh kiloa has several other things also uh kiloa has several other things also uh kiloa has several other things so there's the cka scenarios and here so there's the cka scenarios and here so there's the cka scenarios and here there are also going to be Network there are also going to be Network there are also going to be Network policy um scenarios so I would go policy um scenarios so I would go policy um scenarios so I would go through these all of these and do them through these all of these and do them through these all of these and do them and also practice them on my own home and also practice them on my own home and also practice them on my own home lab like at the at the point when you lab like at the at the point when you lab like at the at the point when you are taking this type of exam you will are taking this type of exam you will are taking this type of exam you will want to have a kubernetes home Lab at want to have a kubernetes home Lab at want to have a kubernetes home Lab at home like that's almost like in terms of home like that's almost like in terms of home like that's almost like in terms of pref professional Dedication that is pref professional Dedication that is pref professional Dedication that is what I would expect of a kubernetes what I would expect of a kubernetes what I would expect of a kubernetes engineer um that is at this performing engineer um that is at this performing engineer um that is at this performing on this kind of level and you need to on this kind of level and you need to on this kind of level and you need to have a place where you can practice and

have a place where you can practice and have a place where you can practice and you where you can try out these things you where you can try out these things you where you can try out these things and think of scenarios for yourself and and think of scenarios for yourself and and think of scenarios for yourself and a home lab is the the like the perfect a home lab is the the like the perfect a home lab is the the like the perfect place for that and it can just be rench place for that and it can just be rench place for that and it can just be rench your desktop on your machine that you your desktop on your machine that you your desktop on your machine that you that you run but you need to have a that you run but you need to have a that you run but you need to have a place where you should where you can place where you should where you can place where you should where you can practice with with these scenarios for practice with with these scenarios for practice with with these scenarios for yourself because one thing is to create yourself because one thing is to create yourself because one thing is to create to go through these scenarios but you'll to go through these scenarios but you'll to go through these scenarios but you'll learn much more if you have on your own learn much more if you have on your own learn much more if you have on your own home lab think huh I have this namespace home lab think huh I have this namespace home lab think huh I have this namespace what if I only want the database pods to what if I only want the database pods to what if I only want the database pods to be able to connect to that namespace uh be able to connect to that namespace uh be able to connect to that namespace uh but they should exclude this the pods but they should exclude this the pods but they should exclude this the pods with that label like those kinds of with that label like those kinds of with that label like those kinds of little uh scenarios you can think for little uh scenarios you can think for little uh scenarios you can think for yourself and those are going to be very yourself and those are going to be very yourself and those are going to be very beneficial in your beneficial in your beneficial in your preparation so so a few words about the preparation so so a few words about the preparation so so a few words about the exam it is the same environment as the exam it is the same environment as the exam it is the same environment as the cka so as we saw the cka is a cka so as we saw the cka is a cka so as we saw the cka is a requirement for this exam so you will requirement for this exam so you will requirement for this exam so you will know how that feels like it is the same know how that feels like it is the same know how that feels like it is the same environment the same shitty environment environment the same shitty environment environment the same shitty environment I should say with the lag with the few I should say with the lag with the few I should say with the lag with the few documentation available but it is um it documentation available but it is um it documentation available but it is um it is doable but again like I have stressed is doable but again like I have stressed is doable but again like I have stressed before there's huge time pressure you before there's huge time pressure you before there's huge time pressure you need to know your stuff you need to be need to know your stuff you need to be need to know your stuff you need to be fast in the terminal trust me um but fast in the terminal trust me um but fast in the terminal trust me um but don't be discouraged by that because don't be discouraged by that because don't be discouraged by that because there is lenient scoring so I passed there is lenient scoring so I passed there is lenient scoring so I passed with 75% or something like that and um I

with 75% or something like that and um I with 75% or something like that and um I didn't Sol I didn't solve three full didn't Sol I didn't solve three full didn't Sol I didn't solve three full questions I wasn't able to get to those questions I wasn't able to get to those questions I wasn't able to get to those questions because I was losing time so questions because I was losing time so questions because I was losing time so even with those three full questions not even with those three full questions not even with those three full questions not answered and I probably made some answered and I probably made some answered and I probably made some mistakes on the other mistakes on the other mistakes on the other ones I think it's still quite lenient on ones I think it's still quite lenient on ones I think it's still quite lenient on the scoring I was able to pass so if you the scoring I was able to pass so if you the scoring I was able to pass so if you manage to solve most questions correctly manage to solve most questions correctly manage to solve most questions correctly you will pass you will pass you will pass so don't don't don't sweat it if you so don't don't don't sweat it if you so don't don't don't sweat it if you didn't manage to solve a few questions didn't manage to solve a few questions didn't manage to solve a few questions after you finished uh and also like be after you finished uh and also like be after you finished uh and also like be mentally prepared that you're not going mentally prepared that you're not going mentally prepared that you're not going to finish some questions and this can to finish some questions and this can to finish some questions and this can help you help you help you like for example you have to know Falco like for example you have to know Falco like for example you have to know Falco policies well I know that those were policies well I know that those were policies well I know that those were always taking me quite a bit of time to always taking me quite a bit of time to always taking me quite a bit of time to solve so I saved that question for last solve so I saved that question for last solve so I saved that question for last because I knew I was going to use a lot because I knew I was going to use a lot because I knew I was going to use a lot of time on it anyway so I might as well of time on it anyway so I might as well of time on it anyway so I might as well solve the other questions first so that solve the other questions first so that solve the other questions first so that I had a better chance of solving the I had a better chance of solving the I had a better chance of solving the rest and it turned out that in the end rest and it turned out that in the end rest and it turned out that in the end as I was not able to even reach that qu as I was not able to even reach that qu as I was not able to even reach that qu question so I was happy I saved that one question so I was happy I saved that one question so I was happy I saved that one because I knew that that was going to be because I knew that that was going to be because I knew that that was going to be a problem for me so have that a problem for me so have that a problem for me so have that expectation that you're not going to expectation that you're not going to expectation that you're not going to solve all of them you're likely to skip solve all of them you're likely to skip solve all of them you're likely to skip a few of them and not get back to them a few of them and not get back to them a few of them and not get back to them and use that in your selection and use that in your selection and use that in your selection process so a few must NOS um that did process so a few must NOS um that did process so a few must NOS um that did not necessarily come across from the not necessarily come across from the not necessarily come across from the course or from the course or from the course or from the kiloda so you you need to be able to do

kiloda so you you need to be able to do kiloda so you you need to be able to do an audit policy from scratch so you will an audit policy from scratch so you will an audit policy from scratch so you will get an a cluster with a cube API server get an a cluster with a cube API server get an a cluster with a cube API server and there's going going to be an audit and there's going going to be an audit and there's going going to be an audit policy at all and you need to be able to policy at all and you need to be able to policy at all and you need to be able to configure the cube API server all of the configure the cube API server all of the configure the cube API server all of the configuration that's needed to set up a configuration that's needed to set up a configuration that's needed to set up a policy for it to make it look into the policy for it to make it look into the policy for it to make it look into the right files and you need to be able to right files and you need to be able to right files and you need to be able to uh copy the logs from the log to a uh copy the logs from the log to a uh copy the logs from the log to a certain file with a certain selection so certain file with a certain selection so certain file with a certain selection so definitely focus on on these scenarios definitely focus on on these scenarios definitely focus on on these scenarios and make sure that you know how to do and make sure that you know how to do and make sure that you know how to do this uh I think this this uh I think this this uh I think this one got me a lot of one got me a lot of one got me a lot of points one thing that did not come points one thing that did not come points one thing that did not come across in my in the courses and in the across in my in the courses and in the across in my in the courses and in the kiler Coda but which came in my exam was kiler Coda but which came in my exam was kiler Coda but which came in my exam was passing parameters to the coulet through passing parameters to the coulet through passing parameters to the coulet through a systemd unit a systemd unit a systemd unit file now this is not a problem for me to file now this is not a problem for me to file now this is not a problem for me to solve if I am in my own comfortable solve if I am in my own comfortable solve if I am in my own comfortable environment and if I have a bit of time environment and if I have a bit of time environment and if I have a bit of time to uh look it up again because I've done to uh look it up again because I've done to uh look it up again because I've done it before but in that stressful it before but in that stressful it before but in that stressful situation on the exam and not having situation on the exam and not having situation on the exam and not having seen this in any point at any point seen this in any point at any point seen this in any point at any point during the courses I was like oh damn I during the courses I was like oh damn I during the courses I was like oh damn I I don't know this uh on the from the top I don't know this uh on the from the top I don't know this uh on the from the top of my head I'm skipping this question of my head I'm skipping this question of my head I'm skipping this question and lo behold I didn't be I wasn't able and lo behold I didn't be I wasn't able and lo behold I didn't be I wasn't able to return to it in the end so this can to return to it in the end so this can to return to it in the end so this can be an useful one to figure out uh be an useful one to figure out uh be an useful one to figure out uh beforehand know how to do this this is beforehand know how to do this this is beforehand know how to do this this is just a little Pro tip Insider tip um just a little Pro tip Insider tip um just a little Pro tip Insider tip um know this and then you will get some know this and then you will get some know this and then you will get some extra points and uh one example from a

extra points and uh one example from a extra points and uh one example from a network policy that I had to create was network policy that I had to create was network policy that I had to create was um you need to um you need to um you need to enable traffic from all enable traffic from all enable traffic from all namespaces with a label hello world so namespaces with a label hello world so namespaces with a label hello world so not all pods from all namespaces no you not all pods from all namespaces no you not all pods from all namespaces no you need to only allow pods that have the need to only allow pods that have the need to only allow pods that have the label hello world or whatever the label label hello world or whatever the label label hello world or whatever the label was from all Nam spaces and this one had was from all Nam spaces and this one had was from all Nam spaces and this one had me doubting because this one did not me doubting because this one did not me doubting because this one did not came come up um in the came come up um in the came come up um in the kiloda and of course there is the kiloda and of course there is the kiloda and of course there is the namespace selector uh um that you need namespace selector uh um that you need namespace selector uh um that you need like there is like there is like there is the uh let's see there is the Nam space the uh let's see there is the Nam space the uh let's see there is the Nam space selector and you will have to select all selector and you will have to select all selector and you will have to select all of the name spaces like that I think it of the name spaces like that I think it of the name spaces like that I think it was like that was like that was like that and I was doubting about that U but and I was doubting about that U but and I was doubting about that U but that's um like I I did something that's um like I I did something that's um like I I did something different and then later I came back to different and then later I came back to different and then later I came back to it and then I deleted it and then yeah I it and then I deleted it and then yeah I it and then I deleted it and then yeah I like I don't even know if I had it like I don't even know if I had it like I don't even know if I had it correct in the end but that one threw me correct in the end but that one threw me correct in the end but that one threw me off because it didn't come come up it off because it didn't come come up it off because it didn't come come up it was mostly like from one Nam space or in was mostly like from one Nam space or in was mostly like from one Nam space or in the same name space that I had practiced the same name space that I had practiced the same name space that I had practiced but not from all Nam spaces with the but not from all Nam spaces with the but not from all Nam spaces with the label so that's uh another tip that I label so that's uh another tip that I label so that's uh another tip that I can give can give can give you so finally here are all the links you so finally here are all the links you so finally here are all the links that are um that that I provided these that are um that that I provided these that are um that that I provided these will all be in the video description and

will all be in the video description and will all be in the video description and that was all I had prepared for you that was all I had prepared for you that was all I had prepared for you today so in short do this course solve today so in short do this course solve today so in short do this course solve all of the scenarios practice your all of the scenarios practice your all of the scenarios practice your network policies and roll based access network policies and roll based access network policies and roll based access control every day get that down so that control every day get that down so that control every day get that down so that you don't have to think about what it you don't have to think about what it you don't have to think about what it means to create a service account what means to create a service account what means to create a service account what it means to create a role and do a role it means to create a role and do a role it means to create a role and do a role binding on cluster Spa uh cluster scope binding on cluster Spa uh cluster scope binding on cluster Spa uh cluster scope or on namespace scope and um uh then you or on namespace scope and um uh then you or on namespace scope and um uh then you will be good to go so yeah if you're will be good to go so yeah if you're will be good to go so yeah if you're looking to get some more um support on looking to get some more um support on looking to get some more um support on this like you can ask questions to me this like you can ask questions to me this like you can ask questions to me directly or the entire community of uh directly or the entire community of uh directly or the entire community of uh fellow Learners and students and experts fellow Learners and students and experts fellow Learners and students and experts in the field uh consider joining my in the field uh consider joining my in the field uh consider joining my school Community thank you so much for school Community thank you so much for school Community thank you so much for watching good luck on your exam let me watching good luck on your exam let me watching good luck on your exam let me know how it went and let me know if this know how it went and let me know if this know how it went and let me know if this video has been of any value to you like video has been of any value to you like video has been of any value to you like And subscribe and hope to see you the And subscribe and hope to see you the And subscribe and hope to see you the next video have a good day
