Manasi:
Anyone here who has passed CKA
and CKAD
both? Do you find CKAD
harder than CKA
? If so how?
I have passed CKA and giving CKAD soon.

KK:
CKAD is a subset of CKA. You just need to be fast enough for CKAD. Time Management is very important.
KK:
Go through the lighting labs to speedup
Manasi:
so if it is subset… shouldn’t it be easier?
Manasi:
I am passing mock test in 45 mins. and somehow managing to finish lightening labs
Manasi:
I ran out of time in CKA when I gave and missed 1 big question
Sushant Pradhan:
CKA is 24 questions in 3 and CKAD 18 in 2. I have cleared both and personally I would say CKAD is tougher just becuase of time management. CKA is a bigger course but time is on your side
Manasi:
Thanks Akhil. wow and I ran out of time in CKA. so CKAD is going to be definitely tougher.
Manasi:
Other than time management anything else you would advice?
Sushant Pradhan:
imperative commands will be great use
Manasi:
I agree. I have tried my best to practice with them including --dry-run
and -o yaml
Sushant Pradhan:
and sometime being smart…eg… one question may ask you to fix a deployment and next question may ask you to create a new deployment. So what you can do is to export the first deployment as yaml and edit it for 2nd question
Sushant Pradhan:
you got it
Manasi:
Yeah that’s a smart thing to do. Noted
Sushant Pradhan:
as such content wise, ckad is much easier…if you manage time and complete questions on time
Sushant Pradhan:
yes you can
Manasi:
Time is the biggest challenge I felt on CKA so this time it’s going to be harder for sure.
