No, you’re only allowed to use what you have access to on the host systems.
You would have to know the full URL, wouldn’t you? I thought you can’t go anywhere outside of kubernetes.io sites as far as I’m aware.
If we can curl/wget any URL, what’s the rules on installing lynx on the hosts and using google?
Edit: Playing a bit of devil’s advocate here btw.
The sessions have an observer, you’d be courting getting banned from the test/any future test doing that.
@rdawoud you will be allowed to use the resources documented here.
@mrbobbytables from my own experiences, I would be surprised if PSI proctors understood anything that happens terminal-side. The way they administered the rules showed to me they lack some basic comprehension skills in administering these types of tests, not just for CNCF; which makes me hope CNCF partners with literally anyone else in the future so I can continue to protest PSI as a company 
.
there is a wide range of things to be done from CLI , exam rule only mention open a tab in the browser & also the instruction they mention “7- Installation of services and applications included in this exam may require modification of system security policies to successfully complete” not sure what this mean
One item that is not in consistence with the killer shell and exam is the texteditor.In killershell I was able to use texeditor for dumping notes and making correction which was not there in exam.
Also, I saw lots of tips and tricks for exam on the community which are useful. someone posted --dry-run without client without client which wasted the exam time. I guess it is better to setup own export variable. Plus the aliases and command in the share forum have formatted character – which fails in exam.
It is better to run the command and setup three to four critical commands only as we get through the question. Hopefully, I will pass in next exam.
On the first attempt search option was hidden and second attempt I wasted lot of time in aliases building dry run and updating container. As much as possible I will grad from yaml from docs and modify in future.
I learn that external monitor is acceptable if Keep my laptop lid shut and use external camera. I would definitely go with better external mouse, keyboard, cam and monitor next time
