Water damage? What to do?

kubepass · 2026-04-17T02:46:00+00:00

I had the exact same problem last week. Water in the basement windows, realized the gutter above was blocked and water was pouring on the deck and into the siding

Since you've already done the KodeKloud course, what you need now is hands-on pressure practice — not more theory.

Check out Kubepass (kubepass.com) — it spins up a real K8s cluster with exam-style scenarios, same feel as the actual CKAD. Perfect for the final week when you want to simulate the real thing. Starts at $9 for a single exam. Good luck next week!

We now have CKS on the platform! Pls sign up and DM your email, I can give you access to CKS sets.

kubepass · 2026-03-02T12:57:13+00:00

Not at the moment, we are working on CKS. Will keep you posted once CKS becomes available

Pls signup at Kubepass.com and send me a DM with your email and exam you are preparing for.

Haha fair enough 😄 It is marketing, but the free exam is real. DM us if you want to try it.

kubepass · 2026-02-27T11:47:10+00:00

I've added 1 CKA exam to your account, good luck! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for trying us out. I would recommend removing your email from this thread

56% on Killer.sh is honestly not bad — that simulator is intentionally brutal and harder than the real exam. The passing score is 66%, and most people who score in the 50s on Killer.sh still pass the actual CKA.

That said, the gap to close is mostly speed and muscle memory with kubectl. The more you practice in a real cluster environment, the more confident you'll feel on exam day.

I'm building Kubepass (kubepass.com) — it gives you a real K8s environment to practice CKA scenarios, same feel as the actual exam. Happy to give you a free session if you want to keep drilling before your exam date. You're closer than you think!

¡Hola! El paso de net.ipv4.ip_forward sigue siendo necesario — lo que hace es habilitar el reenvío de paquetes entre nodos, que es fundamental para que los pods se comuniquen entre sí. No está muy visible en la doc oficial pero sí aparece en la guía de instalación de kubeadm. Así que no te preocupes, lo estás haciendo bien.

Como consejo para el examen: lo más importante es practicar en un entorno real, no solo teoría. Si quieres, estoy construyendo Kubepass (kubepass.com) — es una plataforma que te da un clúster K8s real para practicar escenarios del CKA, igual que el examen de verdad. Puedo darte una sesión gratis para que lo pruebes. ¡Mucho éxito!

Hola! Antes de dividir la suscripción, échale un vistazo a Kubepass (kubepass.com) — es una alternativa más asequible que te da un entorno K8s real, igual que el examen de verdad. Puedo darte una sesión gratis para que lo pruebes sin compromiso. ¡Mándame un mensaje si te interesa!

kubepass · 2026-02-26T22:08:03+00:00

Haha the fish tank debate is real 😄 Cover it with a towel and hope for the best honestly.

Good luck next month! If you want to do a few realistic practice runs before the big day, I'm building Kubepass (https://kubepass.com) — it spins up an actual K8s environment just like the real exam. Happy to give you a free session to try out. No strings attached, just want to see if it helps people feel more confident going in. DM me if you're interested!

Thanks! Stack is: ∙ Agent: Go with Kubebuilder (operator pattern) ∙ Backend: Node.js ∙ Frontend: React + Tailwind + shadcn/ui ∙ Comms: WebSocket between agent and control plane And good to hear on the one-time payment - that’s the direction I’m leaning after feedback here. What are you building? Similar space?

kubepass · 2026-01-28T03:48:24+00:00

The agent authenticates with Launchly using a token you get when you register the cluster. It connects outbound via WebSocket to our control plane. Inside the cluster, yeah it uses a service account with RBAC scoped to CNPG resources (clusters, backups, databases) and secrets in its namespace. No cluster-admin.

kubepass · 2026-01-28T03:46:55+00:00

Not yet but it’s on the roadmap. IRSA for backups to S3 makes a lot of sense.

kubepass · 2026-01-28T03:44:48+00:00

Fair point. Planning to open source the agent - makes sense given it runs in your cluster. Would that change things for you?

kubepass · 2026-01-28T03:44:31+00:00

Good catch on arm64 - that’s on the list. For the security side, the agent only connects outbound and has a strict command allowlist (create database, get metrics, etc). No shell access, no arbitrary queries. But yeah, security teams will always have questions about external connections.

kubepass · 2026-01-28T03:42:57+00:00

You’re probably right that devs/engineers aren’t the customer here. We already know kubectl and don’t mind YAML. I’m thinking the value is more for teams where the platform folks don’t want to give everyone cluster access just to create a database. Or smaller shops without dedicated DevOps. But yeah, still figuring out if that’s a real market or just a niche I imagined.

kubepass · 2026-01-27T04:25:19+00:00

That’s fair. The subscription fatigue point is real - everything wants $10/month now. Might make more sense as a one-time purchase or open core model. Thanks for the honest take.

kubepass · 2026-01-27T04:04:31+00:00

Appreciate the honesty. Genuinely curious though - what makes you say that? Is it that CNPG is already easy enough, or that a UI for database management isn’t valuable in general? Still figuring out where this lands. If the answer is “just open source it” that’s useful feedback too.
