Preparing for CKA, CKS, or CKAD usually involves expensive courses or limited simulators. The SRE Learning Platform (ViktorUJ/cks) is an open-source alternative that provisions real environments on AWS.
It uses Terraform and Terragrunt to spin up clusters on Spot Instances (to keep costs low) and provides:
- “LeetCode-style” Drills: Specific scenarios for CKA/CKS/CKAD.
- Mock Exams: Full-scale practice exams with checking scripts (
check_result). - Infrastructure as Code: You learn Terraform while setting up your learning environment.
