This series is dedicated to helping developers prepare for the Kubernetes Certified Application Developer (CKAD) exam. In Part 1, the focus is on the essential Kubernetes concepts, such as Pods, Services, and Deployments, that are crucial for the CKAD. This guide is designed to provide clear insights and strategies for mastering these topics, making the path to certification more manageable.

Note: Kubernetes uses some Docker-like containers tool so remember you won’t be able to run a Windows-based container on a Docker host with Linux on it – because Docker uses the host machine kernel.However, there are ways to work around this limitation:Docker for Windows with WSL2: Docker Desktop for Windows can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2)...

Docker commands:docker runis like docker create + docker start-it – interactive; will connect to the standard input of the container – thus allowing for interacting using the keyboardwe can run docker run -it sh – this will override the default image command and just start a shellusually, you run the container with its default command and then...

IntroductionChannels are used for routing messages to endpoints.Channels do the routing and endpoints perform the operations.Spring Integration (SI) provides numerous adapters for communication between different systems.SI uses 3 types of components to construct its messaging architecture:MessageChannelEndpointEndpoint > Channel (passes a Message) > EndpointSpring Integration mirrors everything from "Enterprise Integration Patterns"; so If you're familiar with those you can easily...

Advanced class design: Anonymous classes are implicitly final and it can never be static.static method > default methoddefault method > abstract methoddefault method > default method (re-declared with different implementation)default method > static methodstatic method > non-static methodnon-static method > static methodStatic methods can never be abstract.Static interface methods must be invoked using the interface name instead of reference variable - otherwise...

I want to share with you my Spring Core Certification notes I took.Here they are:

What is Spring Boot? Spring Boot is a set of preconfigured framework that works on top of Spring Framework and simplifies configuring a Spring application. What are the advantages of using Spring Boot? Most important advantage is easy configuration of Spring application.Additional to this it provides something more:Integrated web containers that allow for easy testing Starters - sets of dependencies that help...

What does REST stand for? REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer. What is a resource? Anything that can be named is a resource. Usually that nouns that define our model. What are safe REST operations? Safe operations are operations that don't change things. These are: GET HEAD OPTIONSWhat are idempotent operations? Why is idempotency important? Idempotent operations are operations that always return the same result....
