Very good course and I also followed Mumshad's course as well. I like the way Zeal explains, even if you start from 0 after following with Zeal, he will will make you a pro. Practice test questions were only 10, but i got similar tasks like at least 3 in my real exam. It would be more beneficial if more practice test questions are added.

This is a good course which I am watching all the way through. A fair amount of lessons are duplicated between this and the CKA course. Zeal is very knowledgeable and I like his lesson pattern of following exposition of theory with practical examples. I also appreciate his recommendation to save Kubernetes control plane hosting costs by using DigitalOcean. There is room for improvement. Zeal clears the terminal screen very quickly after typing commands, making it hard to read what he entered without pausing the video, which can be distracting.

Zeal always makes learning complicated tasks very simple. He explains things in a way where someone who has little knowledge can comprehend the concepts as well as what would someone experience in the exam. I really like the way that he explains what was the old way of doing something, what is the challenge and how Kubernetes aims to address that challenge or aims to introduce a new way. It helps the student understand what was done traditionally and what is the new way.

I found Mastering Certified Kubernetes Application Developer course to be incredibly well-structured and effective for preparing for the CKAD certification. The course strikes an excellent balance between theory and practical hands-on lessons, breaking down complex Kubernetes concepts into easy-to-understand modules. The explanations are clear and focused, which made learning Kubernetes concepts much more approachable.

This course is exceptionally well-organized and goes beyond just preparing for the CKAD exam. It provides practical knowledge and skills that have significantly enhanced my effectiveness in daily tasks as a Kubernetes Developer.

Ich benutze Docker und Kubernetes als Softwareentwickler täglich. Trotzdem war es für mich kurzweilig und hat so manches wieder in Erinnerung gebracht. Es war auch einiges dabei, was ich noch nicht wusste. Die Prüfung interessiert mich nicht und habe ich auch nicht gemacht.

I really enjoyed course and learnt alot about Kubernetes. I like Zeal’s approach to teaching, he organizes the course in an understandable way, for each new subject he breaks things down with diagrams and usecases and then proceeds to show a demo. As for labs I setup windows WSL linux and connected that to digital ocean and practiced alot.

Zeal Vora as stated by him as premium instructor which is true, He has in depth knowledge on K8s which is reflecting in course content. Given important points for exam and also detailed about how to register for the exam and key points on exam simulation. Requested to practice labs in Ubuntu and appropriate K8s version which is great, if this suggestions given in the beginning of the course itself would have been much helpful. Overall a very comprehensive course highly recommended to take this course.

Just cleared the CKAD Exam, with a score of 84% at First attempt. In the exam I was able to attempt only 88% scored questions. Visit my post : https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6765946114857304064/ It is race against time, which is the only enemy ! This course from Zeal gave me ample pratical ways of doing and implementing components in K8s as a developer. A great deal of tips and trics are given in the course for clearing the exam. Zeal teaches concepts very nicely and that is the reason, I gained more confidence to give the exam. I wish you good luck ! cheers !

I really liked the approach Zeal gives for the exam. I have seen other courses for CKAD< which are very stylish, conceptual, animated well. But Zeal does not have such cozy cathy stuffs, but relies on his content and what is needed for the exam completely. Specially , the best part of this course, is how to prepare for the exam, which i feel no other courses on ckad covers much.
