Taking the KCSA Exam on My Washing Machine (And Passing!)

After grabbing my CKA on Jan 11, KCNA on Jan 23, and CKAD on Jan 26, I kept the momentum going and took the KCSA on February 6th! Briefly, the KCSA (Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate) is a multiple-choice certification that tests your fundamental knowledge of Kubernetes security. Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate Exam Results I passed with a score of 81% (passing score is 75%). Usually, I rent a private room in a coworking space to take these exams, but this time I wanted to save some money and decided to take it at home. After desperately searching for a completely empty space in my house that met the proctoring requirements, I ended up putting my MacBook on top of my washing machine! Since the KCSA is a multiple-choice exam without practical labs, I figured, "It doesn't matter if the laptop wobbles a bit!"
