My CKS experience

It was about time… TL;DR A couple of months ago I’ve taken the CKS exam last week and I have passed it. It was about time to make a post about it which can be helpful to others. After studying for some weeks of studying (in fact, I scheduled the exam a week before the exam was expiring) and two attempts, I got the pass, the first was just to be safe as it was going to expire but the second one, let me 2 additional weeks to nail a couple of things....

My CKAD experience

Another Kubernetes exam: CKAD TL;DR I passed the CKAD exam a couple of weeks ago. As I already expected, it was easier than the CKA. Most of the resources to be used are the same than the CKA. How much do I study for this one? Well, I already have experience with Kubernetes, took the CKA 3 weeks ago so I just took twice the killer.sh test and It was enough but your mileage may vary....

My CKA experience

Is the applications’ future «containe(r)d»?

Well, I’ll be lying if I haven’t heard of containers in the past years although I used them barely at my job (solutions engineer) shouldn’t I consider them more every time to replace the applications where my customers have their servers? Like many people that work as sysadmin these days, they are used to work with virtualization, in particular Virtual Machines (VMs), customers still using them (and it will continue) to deploy their applications in an OS which delivers great benefits against the legacy approach of the Baremetal (Mainframe) era....

Finishing a Computer Engineering degree with DevOps stuff

It’s been more than one month since I published something here but I’ve been changing quite a lot my focus learning and I changed now from CCNA to DevOps things. TL;DR I will be building an automated CI/CD pipeline for my final assignment focusing on tools installed and configured on-premise although there will be cloud services like the front-end. Also, I forgot to mention that last month I started the last semester of my Computer Engineering degree that I started back in 2014 (oh my!...
