Why it's worth it

The mirror of the CKA upgrade, for people who came to Kubernetes from the application side. You keep the CKAD you already earned and buy the other four, including the CKA that CKS depends on.

Prep tips

• Take the CKA before the CKS. CKS requires an active CKA to sit, and this bundle is the one of the two upgrades where that ordering is forced on you.
• The CKA is the biggest step up from the CKAD, since cluster administration barely appears in the CKAD. Budget most of your preparation time there rather than spreading it evenly.
• KCNA and KCSA are multiple choice and can be cleared quickly, which is useful for keeping momentum while you work through the CKA.

How to use the code

1. Add the CKAD to Kubestronaut bundle to your cart on training.linuxfoundation.org.
2. Enter RUSHABH30 in the coupon field at checkout.
3. The total drops 30%. RUSHABH30 works on the four-exam upgrade bundle; retakes on individual exams follow that exam's own eligibility window.
