The Path to Passing the CKS Exam: From Challenges to Creating a Simulator

<h1>What is the CKS exam?</h1> <p>The Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) exam is the most challenging in the lineup of practical Kubernetes exams from CNCF. I won&rsquo;t delve deep into its specifics here, as the Internet is full of relevant information. It&rsquo;s worth saying that only those candidates who have passed the Certified Kubernetes Administrator(CKA) exam successfully are eligible for the CKS exam. The topics required for the exam can be found&nbsp;<a href="https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-security-specialist/?ref=hackernoon.com" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. Additionally, proficiency with tools like falco, sysdig, and trivy is essential. You need to keep in mind that the Kubernetes cluster version used in the exam is updated following the release of each new Kubernetes version, and the delay between the release of a new Kubernetes version and the exam&rsquo;s version update usually does not exceed two months.</p> <h1>Preparation: Initial Steps and Unexpected Hurdles</h1> <p>My preparation began two years ago with a course on&nbsp;<code>kodekloud.com</code>. However, after two months, I had to interrupt my studies due to family circumstances. When I returned to my preparation some time later, I was faced with the necessity to move to another country. Due to it I had very little time for my studies, and I decided to take the exam without proper preparation. As expected, my first attempt was unsuccessful.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@viktoruj/the-path-to-passing-the-cks-exam-from-challenges-to-creating-a-simulator-df39aeb5d392"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
