Nicely explained. Would really appreciate it if you could have such a video explaining CKA changes as well.

Hi Mumshad, thank you for these details about CKS updates, I just passed the exam two or three weeks ago, just before the update that was announced for september at the beginning. I am happy to see that you will update the course and that's why I would like to suggest if you can add in addition to falco, sysdig to detect potential vulnerable action on containers, the CKS exam gives the choice to use either Falco or Sysdig so it would be great if the course cover both of them so that users can choose the easiest tool for them. Especially even if I understood falco and in all my mock exams it worked fine and was able to clear the question on the exam on my 2 attempts all changes I made to falco didn't work at all and I am sure that I wasn't wrong, so having the alternative of sysdig would increase chances to get that part done when an option doesn't work.
Thank you

I passed CKS in January 2024. I’m glad to see that Cilium is becoming official. Custom Admission Controllers is something nice to learn.

Hi Mumshad, I recently passed the CKA exam, thanks to your excellent CKA course and practice tests. Your CKS course is also fantastic! It would be incredibly helpful if you could add a CKS practice test similar to the one for CKA, as it would benefit everyone aiming to pass the CKS exam.
