What CCAAK emphasizes (in one paragraph)

Expect scenario questions around broker and cluster configuration, topics/partitions/replication, availability vs durability trade-offs, security (TLS/SASL/ACLs), and operational diagnosis (under-replicated partitions, controller events, disk pressure, lag, rebalances). The exam rewards admins who can choose the safest operational move (rolling changes, verification, and observability-first troubleshooting).
