Important Note About The Cni And Cka Exam

An important tip about deploying Network Addons in a Kubernetes cluster.

In the upcoming labs, we will work with Network Addons. This includes installing a network plugin in the cluster. While we have used weave-net as an example, please bear in mind that you can use any of the plugins which are described here:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/networking/#how-to-implement-the-kubernetes-networking-model

In the CKA exam, for a question that requires you to deploy a network addon, unless specifically directed, you may use any of the solutions described in the link above.

However, the documentation currently does not contain a direct reference to the exact command to be used to deploy a third-party network addon.

The links above redirect to third-party/vendor sites or GitHub repositories, which cannot be used in the exam. This has been intentionally done to keep the content in the Kubernetes documentation vendor-neutral.

NOTE: In the official exam, all essential CNI deployment details will be provided.
