4.7 Lab passthrough yaml knowledge

[MikeInAZ]

This is a LOT of yaml formatting to have to know by memory!  I'm not finding a comparable page on docs.openshift.com. Any ideas?

Also the sample product-deployment.yaml file does not have any of the non-bolded info below the volumeMounts line.

Uhm, I have not pretty much to say as I have - luckily - a good eidetic memory.

However, I would suggest to keep practicing on what you forget.

You will master it at some point, it is not that hard, imho.

I skipped #4 in the lab so that's why I didn't have the previous non-bolded text

It's still a lot to know. btw, I've noticed that in this lab they reference a lot of YAML modfication whereas in the guided exercises in the chapter, they are using a lot of commands to get the same thing done. For example the Chap 4 lab has you modify a configmap YAML vs the exercises do $ oc create configmap service-ca, $ oc annotate cm service-ca....

With a lot to learn for the exam, it get confusing and overwhelming with all the esoteric syntax.

I also noticed that the labs are heavy on command line and not much at all at doing the same thing in the web console. Why?  if the outcome is the same, then why not include that method as well.  I love the command line, but not enjoying torturing myself for a way more simpler.

@MikeInAZ were you able to find a yaml reference page/doc? I am struggling with the same situation as you were, the syntax and detail needed to complete a yaml file correctly is getting in the way of learning how to administer openshift. I passed a similar cert (CKAD, Kubernetes Foundation) where referrence docs were accepted, I find is suprising that they are not allowed with D0280. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Reference docs are there. The same documentation mentioned in end of chapter for referance. Each document comes seperately as a different html or pdf file and to know which pdf or html link to use one would have to know the exact document which has the details. Can't do a search on the documentation website as allowed in CKA, CKS, CKAD exams. Ultimately one has to remember the details because viewing documentation can take a lot of time in the exam. Only option is to practice harder to work without document as much as possible.
