What is CKAD for?

A certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) can design, build and deploy cloud-native applications for Kubernetes. He can define application resources and use Kubernetes core primitives to create/migrate, configure, expose and observe scalable applications. CKAD certificate is valid for two years.

Any successful candidate will be comfortable:

• working with (OCI-compliant) container images
• applying Cloud Native application concepts and architectures – working with and validating Kubernetes resource definitions

I’m currently preparing for my Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD). This free challenge is from the kodecloud.com.

Prerequisites

To safely run Linux commands inside a Windows machine, it is better to install Linux inside Windows. With Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), we can install Linux distribution and use Linux applications, utilities and Bash command-line tools directly on Windows. This removes the overhead of a traditional virtual machine.

Good afternoon friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I mean families from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, California and Montreal. Today marks the biggest merge request in Github’s history, the union of Christopher and Sophia.

As software developers, they spend months, years and even decades in the near future writing codes, fixing bugs and pushing updates. But today they are committed to far greater, a lifetime repository together, where love is the main branch.

Goodbye hyprland

It is a weird feeling but I have to say goodbye to my archlinux. From my previous posts, I’ve been a Linux user and enjoying every bit of it. But now I have MacBook M4 which feels faster than my miniPC so I decided to make a switch. There is a learning curve to retrain my fingers for typing and for using gestures. It pains me to say goodbye to my tiling window application hyprland and I’m still searching for the closest replacement to it.

Install procedure

I downloaded the latest Proxmox release using this link. Then I install balena-etcher to create the USB bootdisk. I then boot using the created bootdisk and followed the installation screen. It’s vital that you configure the network correctly otherwise you will have an unreachable Proxmox instance.
