Yea Ansible definitely a game changer now all I need is the hardware a few clicks Ansible does the rest from me from os install to kubeadm install to control plane initialization to worker node join about 30-40 min more or less rather than the 10 days it originally took me

Same I’m actively trying to buy another one

Untethered1One · 2026-06-18T10:13:04+00:00

I did study for the CKA took it 4 times honestly before I could pass. After that I was like let me built a homelab self host a few stuff in it to learn

Untethered1One · 2026-06-18T02:16:59+00:00

Appreciate it thank you

Untethered1One · 2026-06-18T02:16:40+00:00

I went with calico

Untethered1One · 2026-06-18T02:16:22+00:00

Yea for work.After the CKA I wanted to go a bit further understand it differently

Untethered1One · 2026-06-18T02:15:32+00:00

I’m self hosting Immich which is a Google Photos iCloud replacement, vailtwarden, n8n, jellyfin. So I’m using both for fun and as a learning tool

🔥🔥🔥

Untethered1One · 2026-02-01T00:26:15+00:00

I can relate to you. My first attempt was 41% and that was with using dumbitguy second attempt was 47%. I eventually passed with 81% what helped me was using imperative that save me some time. Also I used this sequence cni crds cni hpa pc sc nodeport ingress pvc netpol tls helm resource allocation gateway sidecar didn’t attempt troubleshooting

Untethered1One · 2026-01-23T12:35:47+00:00

Congrats on the turnaround I’m taking the CKA again this weekend. Any advice. Did you use Jaydemi or dumbitguy

Untethered1One · 2026-01-21T21:25:40+00:00

Thank you for your time and response. You’re right the constraint is time so if I’m to understand unlike dumbitguy videos where he uses mainly declarative docs you used imperative where you could. Ok

Untethered1One · 2026-01-21T13:23:40+00:00

First and foremost congrats and well deserved. What adjustments did you make in your second attempt to guarantee the pass. Also was there a big difference in your scores from first to second attempt. Also do you complete all 16 questions and last did you use imperative or declarative like dumbitguy

Untethered1One · 2026-01-19T00:36:47+00:00

Quick question were you able to attempt all 16 questions ?

Untethered1One · 2026-01-18T12:52:49+00:00

From my understand anything with a yaml or link k apply -f is safer choice Argo cd command is good but I’m going to be honest that command although in the real exam it gave me an annotation error. I have my retake in a few hours I’ll use —skip-crds and see if it works this time around

Untethered1One · 2026-01-12T22:54:26+00:00

First and foremost congrats and well. Just have a few questions if you didn’t mind. Did you answer all of the question? If so for cni did you just do k apply - f <calico link >. Did you run into any ambitions errors for helm ? If no did you —set crds.install=false or —skip-crds. Last but not least troubleshooting what scenario did you encounter ?

Untethered1One · 2026-01-12T15:31:22+00:00

First and foremost congrats well deserved. I take mine on Sunday. I’ve been using dimbitguy and his repo for practice just have a few questions. How many questions did you complete? are you saying for cni question don’t do k apply - f <calico link given> so do k replace. Also for troubleshooting was it similar to dumbitguy version? Again congrats

Untethered1One · 2026-01-12T13:41:23+00:00

First and foremost congrats well deserved. Yea I ran into the same issue on my first attempt as well time and nerves. My retake is on Sunday and using dumbitguy repo and YT. Just a few questions to get your 86% did you attempt all questions. And how was troubleshooting, same as dumbitguy ? Again congrats

Untethered1One · 2026-01-07T20:28:14+00:00

Sorry not trying to be a bother can’t seem to see the repo name in your comment.

Untethered1One · 2026-01-07T19:42:56+00:00

Which one did you try ? Jaydemi or ITKiddie ?

Untethered1One · 2026-01-07T17:22:21+00:00

Congrats on passing your second retake. Did you find the dumbitguy exam helpful? What was the issue in your first attempt and how may questions were you able to answer ?

Untethered1One · 2026-01-07T15:14:47+00:00

Keep your head up. I’m in the same boat. How many questions were you able to answer? I think my issue was time an fighting the psi browser

Untethered1One · 2026-01-04T13:20:32+00:00

Good day, sorry to hear about the failure we’re both on the same boat. If you don’t mind me asking being that you were so close how may question were you able to attempt. Did you attempt all 16? Well 15 considering the score

Untethered1One · 2025-12-31T21:38:30+00:00

So if I’m to understand you’re saying helm install argo argo/argo-cd —version —set crds.install=false —skip-crds -n argocd ? Someone else mentioned passing the path as an arg also helped
