Frequently Asked Questions

CKAD exam consists of performance-based questions rather than only multiple-choice ones. A candidate must prepare a lot before the exam because simply understanding the subjects is not enough. You need suitable study materials to aid your comprehension, preparation, and exam readiness. This exam consists of 19 questions, and around 2 hours are allotted to complete the examination.

The CloudThat CKAD Certification cost will be around 19900 + 18% GST. This course aims to introduce participants to the idea of Kubernetes-based container orchestration. It aims to aid developers in comprehending the requirement for a container orchestrator before teaching them about Kubernetes' many features and how they assist in resolving problems that would otherwise arise.

All you have to do is pass a 2-hour online, proctored performance-based exam with a grade of 66 percent. The exam comprises several performance-based questions (problems) that must be answered in a command line while Kubernetes operates. A proctor is watching you while you take the test online; you can only contact the proctor using the supplied chat box; you cannot see the proctor's face while attending the examination.

The CKS Certification allows cloud-native professionals to demonstrate security skills to current and potential employers. In contrast, the CKA Certification certifies the candidate with knowledge of Kubernetes administration. The CKAD Certification certifies the candidate with the ability to design, build, and configure applications on Kubernetes.

The most obvious answer is to practice, practice, and practise some more. Make it a routine to attend lectures routinely and participate in the lab that follows. Get access to all the study material and sample practice papers available online for your reference. If at all feasible, finish the courses first, then apply for the certification when you feel prepared for the exam.

Yes, the total cost of the CKAD exam is included in the CKAD course offered by CloudThat. With this course, you will deeply learn about the impact that Containers and Container Orchestrations have on how software is developed, designed, packaged, and delivered. The CKAD Certification helps you develop the skills required to be an efficient and successful CKAD Kubernetes Application Developer in today's industry.

CKA and CKAD Certifications are valid for 3 years. To renew their certification, candidates can undertake the exam and pass it again. Before the certification expires, the certification must be renewed immediately. From the date the exam is passed, the CKA & CKAD renewal certification will be valid for an additional three years.
