However, I did not take the exam because of the certificate; I took the exam because of the challenge. The challenge to verify my Kubernetes knowledge and experience. The knowledge and experience I got from real-world projects and from falling in love with cloud-native application development in general.</p> <p>Compared to other exams (and I did a bunch of exams back in the .NET Framework v3 and v4 days), CKAD is challenging. There are no multiple-choice questions, CKAD challenges your experience with Kubernetes by presenting you with a set of day-to-day tasks. Tasks that you must solve in 120 minutes or less by using a terminal and an editor. I enjoy challenges like these. They make me identify areas where I can improve because they measure both: Experience and speed.</p>
