You have to be able to move your webcam around in the beginning to show your whole room and desktop. Having a large screen definitely helps as you’re only allowed one application open (Chrome Browser) with two tabs, one terminal and one k8s docs. I used my MacBook with lid closed and one 28" external monitor, external mouse+keyboard and external webcam+microphone. You are allowed to have one monitor connected. Learn with real scenarios and in a very close-to-real environment. Put your knowledge to the test with the CKAD simulator I developed.
#Mac terminal vim series#
I started a series with scenarios here on Medium, do all of these. Study all topics as proposed in the handbook till you feel comfortable with everyone. I didn’t do the two 2% questions which was probably good for saving time. The 3% question I still managed to jump back to and solve at the very end. I did skip two 2% questions and one 3% question. You have access to a notebook which I used to write down the questions I skipped. Apart from that copy&paste was just working fine, just like in normal terminals (can only tell for Mac). I had sometimes issues copying text (like pod names) from the left task information, I had to “hard” hit Cmd+C a few times to take action. The lagging wasn’t too bad, definitely make sure you are using a good internet connection because your webcam and screen are uploading all the time! Copy&Paste
You can configure it to have two screens using tmux. On the left you see the questions and time, on the right you have one terminal. This is what the setup will (or could) look like.
