This collection covers a set of exercises that are categorized topics wise and referred back to the individual Kubernetes certification exams. As the exam pattern and topics keep on changing, however, the topics remain more or less the same, I have created the exercises per topics and mapped them back to the exam.

Try out the Killercoda Kubernetes playgroud which provides 2 node Kubernetes cluster, which is good enough to complete almost all of the exercises.
