Passed Docker Certified Associate Exam

Passed Docker Certified Associate exam today May 5th 2020.
I have been procrastinating on this for a while but due to COVID-19 shelter-in-home and no classes to take kids to, got enough time to get this taken care of.

Now regarding the exam, while i was lingering on when to take this exam (had enrolled last year December) Docker got bought by Mirantis and the DCA exam which used to multiple choice only became a bit harder with majority of questions (42 of total 55) being DOMC (Discrete option multiple choice). Also the syllabus got revised (v1.1 of study guide) to include many Kubernetes topics in the exam. Lots of Kubernetes related questions were there from topics including persistent volumes, configMaps etc. Fortunately i am also preparing for CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer) and going to write it soon on 16th May, 2020 so i was able to answer those.




My study notes are available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MY87SMK 

My experience taking the test was - it took me about an hour to complete the exam so i think the 90mins duration is sufficient.
