Network Policies missing from CKA curriculum

Open ChristopherHanson opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Network policies are still on the CKA exam but they aren't listed as a task in any domain in the 1.30 curriculum PDF or on the Linux Foundation website (https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-administrator-cka/). I would expect a task to be under the Services & Networking domain but there isn't one:

Services & Networking 20%

  • Understand host networking configuration on the cluster nodes
  • Understand connectivity between Pods
  • Understand ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer service types and endpoints
  • Know how to use Ingress controllers and Ingress resources
  • Know how to configure and use CoreDNS
  • Choose an appropriate container network interface plugin

This might be confusing to candidates who think they don't have to study Network Policies because it isn't listed.

In the CKS curriculum, Network Policies is listed under Cluster Setup as:

  • Use Network security policies to restrict cluster-level access

It make sense for this task to also be listed under Services & Networking in the CKA curriculum.
