Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CKA exam multiple-choice?

No. The CKA is a 2-hour, 100% performance-based exam. You are given access to a live command line and must solve real-world Kubernetes issues (like fixing a broken cluster or configuring storage). You cannot pass by reading dumps; you need the hands-on practice we provide.

How much does the CKA exam cost?

The official CNCF price for the CKA exam is $445 USD. Because this fluctuates with currency rates, OSELabs leverages CNCF training partnerships to secure bulk wholesale discounts. Contact us to get the cheapest exam voucher rate available in India today.

Do I need coding experience?

No programming experience is required. CKA is an infrastructure and administration certification. You need a solid understanding of Linux command-line operations, basic networking, and YAML formatting.

What kind of labs do you provide?

We provide dedicated, multi-node Kubernetes clusters. You will practice using kubeadm, breaking and fixing the cluster, and backing up the ETCD database—tasks you cannot easily simulate on a local Minikube environment.
