Part I. Introduction

The Introduction section of the book touches on the most important aspects of the exam and orients beginners to Kubernetes to the lay of the land without introducing too much complexity.

The following chapters cover these concepts:

  • Chapter 1 discusses the exam objectives, curriculum, and tips and tricks for passing the exam.

  • Chapter 2 is a short and sweet overview on Kubernetes. This chapter summarizes the purpose and benefits of Kubernetes and provides an overview of its architecture and components.

  • Chapter 3 discusses how to interact with a Kubernetes cluster using the command line tool kubectl. The tool is going to be your only user interface during the exam. We’ll compare imperative and declarative commands, their pros and cons, as well as time-saving techniques for the exam.
