1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,560 Hello. 2 00:00:02,690 --> 00:00:08,420 Before you head into a practice test, which follows this video, I wanted to spend a few minutes on walking 3 00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:14,990 you through the Practice Test Portal. Once this lecture is complete, you will find a link to the practice 4 00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:20,750 test the practice tests are hosted on another platform so follow the link. 5 00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:27,320 If you run into any issues once you're on that portal report directly to me you must be accessing the 6 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:34,340 practice test on a laptop or a desktop system as you will require a keyboard to work hands on the page 7 00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:40,790 you will be taken to will load and interface read through the instructions and click on Start scenario 8 00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:42,320 when you're ready. 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,480 You will then see a live terminal to a master node in the kubernetes cluster. 10 00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:52,400 You can run commands here and interact with the cluster in any way you like. 11 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,310 This cluster consists of a single master and worker node. 12 00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:00,040 There are two parts to the practice test. 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,910 One is this terminal where you will be working and you will run commands to view and configure the kubernetes 14 00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:07,120 cluster. 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,610 The second is a quiz portal. 16 00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:14,890 You can access the quiz portal by clicking on this link at the top of your terminal. 17 00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:22,200 This will fire up a separate browser session with the questions each topic covered in the lecture has 18 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,980 a practice test associated with it that consists of anywhere from 5 to 15 questions. 19 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:34,350 You can see the total number of questions at the bottom and as and when you progress through this it 20 00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:35,610 will be marked accordingly. 21 00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:39,300 The questions are of different kind. 22 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:44,040 Sometimes you're asked to look for information in the environment and select the right answer. 23 00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:50,210 We will perform changes in the environment such as deploy a set of pods or services and ask you to 24 00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:57,440 look for information within it or you may be asked to perform a configuration task using a given spec. 25 00:01:57,470 --> 00:02:01,140 We then test your work to ensure you completed it successfully. 26 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:09,160 Sometimes you are given a set of kubernetes definition files and asked to use them to create configurations. 27 00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:12,100 Use the vi editor to edit these files. 28 00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:18,670 Remember in the certification test the actual exam you will have to use one of the editors that come 29 00:02:18,670 --> 00:02:20,870 within the provide system. 30 00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:22,960 So practice working with it. 31 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:29,170 We also have some scenario based multiple choice questions you won't have these in the actual certification 32 00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:30,270 exam. 33 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,570 We just added these to test your knowledge and ensure your learning when you're given a spec remember 34 00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:41,660 to create a configuration that matches it exactly. 35 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:45,310 You can skip any questions by clicking on this button at the top. 36 00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:50,950 But remember you cannot come back as the questions follow a particular flow. 37 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:53,770 We're working on a feature to improve this experience. 38 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,890 At times you can access the application you deploy on the cluster by clicking on the Web portal link 39 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,840 given above your terminal. 40 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,880 This is however subject to your application having a web portal for some reason. 41 00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:08,740 You need to open a new terminal. 42 00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:16,750 Click on the button above your current terminal and select open a new terminal to host 1. 43 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,940 Now, remember this is not a replica of the actual kubernetes certification exam. 44 00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:27,630 So the interface and your experience in the actual exam is going to be different than this. 45 00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:31,130 This is a custom solution we built to help you practice. 46 00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:38,210 For it to test your skills to guide you and to prepare you for the actual exam you can take this test 47 00:03:38,330 --> 00:03:42,860 over and over as many times as you like until you feel confident. 48 00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:49,360 Remember this is a temporary environment and is only available for one hour after which it is deleted 49 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,900 so your work will not be saved out of the two windows. 50 00:03:53,900 --> 00:04:00,680 You can refresh the quiz portal window anytime but you must not refresh the terminal window as that 51 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,700 will provision a new environment. 52 00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:09,440 If you do that then remember to open the new quiz portal associated with that terminal using the link 53 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,340 above your terminal. 54 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:18,110 Also note that you must not use or store any personal credentials or persistent work in this environment 55 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,120 finally. 56 00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:26,280 Remember that the practice tests are not just to test your skills and the concepts you learned in the 57 00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,370 lecture. 58 00:04:27,610 --> 00:04:33,390 They're designed for you to learn the concept and gain hands on practice so there may be topics that 59 00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:35,490 are not discussed in the lecture. 60 00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:38,810 There might be times where you're stuck and if you're stuck. 61 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:40,460 Please do reach out to me. 62 00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,690 Do not worry. 63 00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:49,290 Try the test again to push you to read the documentation find information and implementing it is the 64 00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:52,820 idea behind these practice tests as always. 65 00:04:52,890 --> 00:04:57,350 If you need additional explanation on any topic please do reach out to me. 66 00:04:58,390 --> 00:05:05,640 If you run into any issues follow these guidelines in case you see some error in the initial screen. 67 00:05:05,650 --> 00:05:11,560 As soon as you load the portal try refreshing the browser ones to open a new environment. 68 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,930 If the issue persists. 69 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,540 Reach out to us if the issue is with your work. 70 00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:21,100 Follow the signs given in the spec results and try to fix it. 71 00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:26,500 If you do not know the answer try to skip the question and move forward and drop us a note at the same 72 00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:27,660 time. 73 00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:31,590 If there are capacity issues please wait and try after some time. 74 00:05:32,530 --> 00:05:35,870 For any other issues please do drop us a note. 75 00:05:36,220 --> 00:05:40,910 Also this is the first time I am putting up a solution like this. 76 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,390 These are the first set of exercises I am working on. 77 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,020 More of these and improving and making these more challenging and fun. 78 00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:51,250 I hope you like it. 79 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:55,750 I hope it helps you gain practice if you come across any issues. 80 00:05:55,900 --> 00:06:00,460 Please please do report it to me and please bear with me until I fix it. 81 00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:07,510 Thank you once again for your support and cooperation and I wish you good luck in the upcoming practice 82 00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:07,930 tests.
