CKS sample questions

2 questions from the CKS practice set, with the answer and explanation.

  1. Question 1
    Which kubeadm command reports how close each control plane certificate is to expiry before an upgrade?
    • A.
      kubeadm certs check-expiration
    • B.
      kubeadm token list, which prints bootstrap tokens and their expiry times for joining nodes
    • C.
      kubeadm config images list
    • D.
      kubectl get nodes -o wide
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      kubeadm certs check-expiration

    Explanation

    kubeadm certs check-expiration prints the expiry date of every certificate kubeadm manages on the control plane node. kubeadm token list shows bootstrap tokens and says nothing about certificate lifetimes. The config images option lists container image names, which is the tempting but unrelated command.
  2. Question 2
    The kubectl drain command refuses to evict pods that are not managed by a controller such as a ReplicaSet or StatefulSet unless the --force flag is given.
    • A.
      True
    • B.
      False
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      True

    Explanation

    Unmanaged pods would not be recreated after eviction, so drain stops and reports them unless --force is set. The --ignore-daemonsets flag is a separate setting that is usually required when DaemonSet pods exist. The statement is therefore true.
