Microsoft to Acquire GitHub

Sad news that M$ are to acquire GitHub. I suspect I’ll start getting Windows adverts in my email inbox soon as my office uses GitHub

On the plus side, this LinuxJournal article has proposed some alternatives. GitLab is a good one and even mentioned on some job listings so I guess I’ll move my repos there.

I’ll be removing my GitHub repos…

CKA Exam

Well, exam is done — for the most part it went okay. A few questions were a bit ambiguous and there were several regarding etcd and low-level tinkering with the kubelet — which I hadn’t had too much experience with unfortunately.  I’m hoping I did OK, though…

CKAD

While booking my CKA exam earlier, I spotted that there was a second Kubernetes certification — Certified Kubernetes Application Developer.

While the CKA is for the admin of the cluster and tests the knowledge of the infrastructure, CKAD is more for the developers.

Looks like that’ll be my next certification…

CKA

With less than 24 hours to go before my exam, I’m going to spend those last hours going through the review questions and see if I can still remember the content.
