Actual Linux Foundation CKAD Exam Questions

Question 1

SIMULATION

Context

It is always useful to look at the resources your applications are consuming in a cluster.

Task

* From the pods running in namespace cpu-stress , write the name only of the pod that is consuming the most CPU to file /opt/KDOBG030l/pod.txt, which has already been created.

Correct answer: A

Solution:


Question 2

SIMULATION

Context

You are asked to deploy an application developed for an older version of Kubernetes on a cluster running a recent version of Kubernetes .

You must connect to the correct host . Failure to do so may result in a zero score.

[candidate@base] $ ssh ckad00026

Task

Fix any API -deprecation issues in the manitest file

/home/candidate/credible-mite/web.yaml

so that the application can be deployed on cluster ckad00026.

The application was developed for Kubernetes v1.15.

The cluster ckad00026 runs Kubernetes 1.29+.

Deploy the application specified in the updated manifest file

/home/candidate/credible-mite/web.yaml in namespace garfish .

Correct answer: A

ssh ckad00026

Your job is to edit /home/candidate/credible-mite/web.yaml so it uses APIs supported on Kubernetes 1.29+, then deploy it into namespace garfish.

Because I can't see your file from here, the most reliable exam approach is:

run a server-side dry-run to reveal the exact deprecated/removed APIs and schema errors

edit the manifest to the modern API versions/fields

re-run dry-run until it passes

apply for real and verify rollout

1) Go to the manifest and run a server-side dry-run

cd /home/candidate/credible-mite

ls -l

sed -n '1,200p' web.yaml

Make sure the namespace exists:

kubectl get ns garfish || kubectl create ns garfish

Now run a server-side dry-run (this catches removed APIs on the cluster):

kubectl apply -n garfish -f web.yaml --dry-run=server

Whatever errors you get here tell you exactly what to fix.

2) Fix the common v1.15 v1.29 API deprecations

Edit the file:

vi web.yaml

Below are the most common objects from older manifests and how to update them for 1.29+.

A) Deployments / DaemonSets / StatefulSets

Old (v1.15 often used):

extensions/v1beta1 or apps/v1beta1 or apps/v1beta2

New:

apiVersion: apps/v1

Also in apps/v1, .spec.selector is required and must match the pod template labels.

Example conversion:

apiVersion: apps/v1

kind: Deployment

metadata:

name: web

spec:

replicas: 2

selector:

matchLabels:

app: web

template:

metadata:

labels:

app: web

spec:

containers:

- name: web

image: nginx

Key rule:

spec.selector.matchLabels must exactly match spec.template.metadata.labels (at least for the keys you select on).

B) Ingress

Old:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 (or networking.k8s.io/v1beta1)

New:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1

Required changes:

spec.rules.http.paths[].pathType is required (usually Prefix)

backend format changes from serviceName/servicePort to service.name/service.port.number (or .name for named ports)

Old backend:

backend:

serviceName: web

servicePort: 80

New backend:

backend:

service:

name: web

port:

number: 80

Full path example:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1

kind: Ingress

metadata:

name: web

spec:

rules:

- host: example.local

http:

paths:

- path: /

pathType: Prefix

backend:

service:

name: web

port:

number: 80

C) CronJob

Old:

apiVersion: batch/v1beta1

New:

apiVersion: batch/v1

Most fields stay the same; just update apiVersion.

D) PodDisruptionBudget

Old:

policy/v1beta1

New:

policy/v1

spec.selector/minAvailable/maxUnavailable remain, but apiVersion changes.

E) RBAC

Usually already:

rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 (this is fine)

F) Removed APIs you must delete/replace

If you see these in a v1.15-era manifest, they are removed in modern clusters:

PodSecurityPolicy (policy/v1beta1) is removed. You cannot deploy it on 1.29+. Remove it from the manifest (or replace with whatever your environment uses, but for CKAD tasks you usually delete PSP sections from the file).

Some old admission/alpha resources also removed.

If dry-run complains ''no matches for kind ... in version ...'', that's your cue.

3) Re-run dry-run until it succeeds

After you edit:

kubectl apply -n garfish -f web.yaml --dry-run=server

Keep iterating until there are no errors.

4) Deploy for real

kubectl apply -n garfish -f /home/candidate/credible-mite/web.yaml

5) Verify everything in namespace garfish

List what was created:

kubectl -n garfish get all

kubectl -n garfish get ingress 2>/dev/null || true

If there is a Deployment, verify rollout:

kubectl -n garfish get deploy

kubectl -n garfish rollout status deploy --all

Check pods/events if something fails:

kubectl -n garfish get pods -o wide

kubectl -n garfish describe pod

kubectl -n garfish get events --sort-by=.lastTimestamp | tail -n 30


Question 3

SIMULATION

Context

You have been tasked with scaling an existing deployment for availability, and creating a service to expose the deployment within your infrastructure.

Task

Start with the deployment named kdsn00101-deployment which has already been deployed to the namespace kdsn00101 . Edit it to:

* Add the func=webFrontEnd key/value label to the pod template metadata to identify the pod for the service definition

* Have 4 replicas

Next, create ana deploy in namespace kdsn00l01 a service that accomplishes the following:

* Exposes the service on TCP port 8080

* is mapped to me pods defined by the specification of kdsn00l01-deployment

* Is of type NodePort

* Has a name of cherry

Correct answer: A

Solution:


Question 4

SIMULATION

Task:

Create a Deployment named expose in the existing ckad00014 namespace running 6 replicas of a Pod. Specify a single container using the ifccncf/nginx: 1.13.7 image

Add an environment variable named NGINX_PORT with the value 8001 to the container then expose port 8001

Correct answer: A

Solution:


Question 5

SIMULATION

Context

You are tasked to create a secret and consume the secret in a pod using environment variables as follow:

Task

* Create a secret named another-secret with a key/value pair; key1/value4

* Start an nginx pod named nginx-secret using container image nginx, and add an environment variable exposing the value of the secret key key 1, using COOL_VARIABLE as the name for the environment variable inside the pod

Correct answer: A
