150 verified questions are in the live bank. Today’s focused 10-question set includes source-backed explanations.
Question 1 of 10
Objective CKA-CAIC-19
Cluster Architecture, Installation, and Configuration
What is the purpose of draining a node before maintenance?
Correct answer: Safely evicting Pods from the node so maintenance can proceed. Draining a node safely evicts Pods in preparation for maintenance.
Concept tested: Cluster Architecture, Installation, and Configuration (CKA-CAIC-19)
Question 2 of 10
Objective CKA-SN-15
Services and Networking
A Service resolves but has no endpoints. What should you check first?
Correct answer: Whether the Service selector matches the Pod labels. Selector-label mismatches are a classic Service troubleshooting cause.
Concept tested: Services and Networking (CKA-SN-15)
Question 3 of 10
Objective CKA-WS-11
Workloads and Scheduling
What is node affinity used for?
Correct answer: Constraining or preferring which nodes a Pod can run on based on node labels. Node affinity influences scheduling based on node labels.
Concept tested: Workloads and Scheduling (CKA-WS-11)
Question 4 of 10
Objective CKA-ST-02
Storage
A PVC should dynamically create backing storage using a specific provisioner. Which object should be referenced?
Correct answer: StorageClass. Dynamic provisioning uses StorageClasses. This fits the Kubernetes behavior or cluster-administration task the question is testing.
Concept tested: Storage (CKA-ST-02)
Question 5 of 10
Objective CKA-TR-06
Troubleshooting
If a Service has no endpoints, what should be checked?
Correct answer: Whether the Service selector matches labels on ready Pods. Services route to endpoints derived from matching Pods.
Concept tested: Troubleshooting (CKA-TR-06)
Question 6 of 10
Objective CKA-CAIC-03
Cluster Architecture, Installation, and Configuration
What is etcd used for in a Kubernetes cluster?
Correct answer: It stores Kubernetes cluster data as a consistent key-value store. Kubernetes uses etcd as the backing store for cluster state.
Concept tested: Cluster Architecture, Installation, and Configuration (CKA-CAIC-03)
Question 7 of 10
Objective CKA-SN-03
Services and Networking
A cloud-backed cluster should expose an app through a provider-managed external load balancer. Which Service type is designed for that?
Correct answer: LoadBalancer. LoadBalancer Services request provider load balancer integration. This fits the Kubernetes behavior or cluster-administration task the question is testing.
Concept tested: Services and Networking (CKA-SN-03)
Question 8 of 10
Objective CKA-WS-10
Workloads and Scheduling
A Pod should be allowed onto a node with a matching NoSchedule taint. What must the Pod include?
Correct answer: A matching toleration. A Pod needs a toleration to schedule onto a node with a corresponding taint.
Concept tested: Workloads and Scheduling (CKA-WS-10)
Question 9 of 10
Objective CKA-ST-03
Storage
A PVC needs storage that can be mounted read-write by multiple nodes, if supported by the plugin. Which PV/PVC attribute matters?
Correct answer: Access mode. Access modes express how storage can be mounted. This fits the Kubernetes behavior or cluster-administration task the question is testing.
Concept tested: Storage (CKA-ST-03)
Question 10 of 10
Objective CKA-TR-20
Troubleshooting
What must kubectl logs know for a Pod with multiple containers if no default is chosen?
Correct answer: Which container’s logs to show. For multi-container Pods, logs may require specifying the container name.
Concept tested: Troubleshooting (CKA-TR-20)

Where to go after the daily web set
How are CKA questions generated?
dotCreds builds CKA practice questions from public exam objectives and Linux Foundation exam and documentation references. The questions are written for realistic study practice, not copied from exam dumps.
How are explanations sourced?
Each question includes an explanation and, when available, a source link back to the provider documentation or reference used to validate the answer. That keeps the practice tied to study material you can actually review.
What score do I get?
The page tracks today's answered count and accuracy for the 10-question daily set, then saves a 7-day score history on this device so you can see your recent practice trend.
Why use this site?
The site is the fastest way to start CKA practice without installing anything. It is built for daily recall, quick weak-topic discovery, and source-backed explanations you can review immediately.
Why use the app when available?
The web page is the quick daily practice layer. If a dotCreds app is available for CKA, the app is better for larger banks, focused weak-domain drills, longer review sessions, and mobile study routines.
