This lab is part of a series of practice exam content for the Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) certification. Each practice exam in the series provides you with exam-like tasks to perform in a Kubernetes cluster modeled after the clusters used in the real CKAD exam. Each practice exam focuses on one particular domain in the CKAD exam curriculum. The tasks outlined in the practice exam should be attempted on your own with consultation of the official Kubernetes documentation, just like in the real exam. If you do need some assistance with a particular task, the solution and relevant exam tips are provided in the final solution guide lab step in the lab.
