CAPA question bank coverage by exam domain
Last updated
The GoldenKube CAPA bank is small, but its spread across Argo Workflows, Argo CD, Argo Rollouts and Argo Events matches the official exam weights closely, and every question has a written explanation. The table below shows the live question counts and the gap between each domain share and its published weight.
| Official domain | Weight | Questions | Share | Gap (pts) | Explained | Topic pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Argo Workflows | 36% | 14 | 35% | −1.0 | 14 | 1 |
| ARGO CD | 34% | 14 | 35% | +1.0 | 14 | 1 |
| Argo Rollouts | 18% | 7 | 18% | −0.5 | 7 | 0 |
| Argo Events | 12% | 5 | 13% | +0.5 | 5 | 0 |
| Whole bank | 100% | 40 | 100% | — | 40 | 2 |

What the table measures
Each row is one official CAPA exam domain, in the order and with the weight the Linux Foundation publishes. The question count is read from the GoldenKube CAPA bank when the page is served, so it always matches what you can practise today. Share is that count divided by the whole bank, and the gap column is the share minus the official weight, in percentage points: a positive gap means the bank has more questions on that domain than the exam weight alone would suggest, a negative gap means fewer. Explained counts the questions that come with a written explanation, and topic pages counts the public topic pages built from that domain.
Some bank sets use their own domain names; those are mapped to the official domain they cover. Mixed practice sets that span several domains are not forced into one row and are listed separately, which is why the official rows can add up to less than the whole bank.
The weights describe the exam, not this bank. A gap is not an error in the exam or in your preparation, it only tells you where practising here gives you more or less material than the exam is likely to ask about.
Where the CAPA bank leans
No CAPA domain crosses the gap threshold. Argo Workflows and Argo CD together make up most of the bank, as they make up most of the exam, and Argo Rollouts and Argo Events are the smaller domains in both. The limitation here is size, not balance: with a bank this small, every question shifts a share noticeably, and the bank cannot cover every field of a Workflow template or every Argo CD sync option. Think of it as a balanced sample of the exam, not as exhaustive coverage of the four projects.
The official page writes the Argo CD domain in capitals; the bank set named Argo CD is mapped to it.
How to use this when you practise CAPA
Expect to master the CAPA bank quickly. Once you have, keep going in the Argo documentation and in a local cluster: write a small Workflow with steps and a DAG, sync an Argo CD Application from Git, try a canary Rollout and wire an Events sensor to a trigger. The questions here then become a check that your hands-on understanding matches the vocabulary the exam uses.
