Earning the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) was the next big goal on my Kubernetes journey after clearing CKA and CKAD back in October. Riding high on the success of those certifications, I felt confident and scheduled the CKS for November. Little did I realize that this exam would challenge not just my Kubernetes skills but also my consistency and mindset. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ...

A lot of Reddit users say that CKAD is easier than CKA. Personally, I agree—it does feel lighter if you attempt CKAD after completing CKA. The CKAD focuses more on scheduling tasks, while CKA involves administration of clusters. So, in CKAD, it’s more about speed and being quick with your typing to finish all the questions in time. 🏃‍♂️🕒 My Study Approach After passing the CKA two weeks earlier, I had a pretty good idea of what the exam interface and questions would be like. I compared the CKA and CKAD certifications to see what additional topics I needed to cover for CKAD. ...

Kubernetes seemed too big and complex to handle, and I didn’t know where to begin. And then, life happened—my father was hospitalized, and I had even less drive to study. ...

Initially, this seemed almost like a uniform. But diving deeper into minimalism, I understood the profound reasons behind this choice. 🕵️‍♂️ Understanding Minimalism: Minimalism is more than a fashion statement; it’s a mindset that encourages us to find beauty and satisfaction in simplicity. It’s about stripping away the non-essential to make room for what truly adds value to our lives. ...

We all aspire to be better, stronger, smarter, and healthier, yet many struggle to stick with their goals. In this post, we’ll explore a practical framework that addresses this common issue, allowing you to effortlessly surpass your goals. This system has been successfully used to develop the discipline needed to hold a 15-minute plank every day. Join me on this journey, and let’s unlock your raw power together. Step 1: Action-Oriented Goals Instead of setting vague and impractical goals, focus on specific actions within a defined time frame. For instance, rather than aiming to lose 20 pounds, set a goal to complete 10,000 push-ups by the end of the year. Break down the goal into actionable steps, visualize each step, and establish a non-negotiable daily minimum to make progress. ...
