🚢✨ Kubernetes Part 2: Where to Begin
So, you’re ready to dive into the world of Kubernetes? 🤗
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
📺 1. Watch This YouTube Video
Start with this amazing introductory video on Kubernetes:
👉
Watch here📚 2. Read the Official Documentation
Next, head over to the Kubernetes Official Documentation.
Why is this my favorite? 🤔The documentation is comprehensive and constantly updated.
Trust me, hopping from video to video won’t help you truly understand Kubernetes.Learn the concepts, best practices, and get comfortable with the terminology.Take your time, experiment as you go, and trust the process.
3. Tools ?Here’s a quick list of the tools I personally use for working with Kubernetes:
1️⃣ Docker (obviously) 🐳
Kubernetes and Docker go hand-in-hand. Make sure you have Docker installed and running.
👉 If you didn't start with Docker, check this link:
Docker Guide2️⃣
Kind or Minikube Kind: The newer kid on the block. Feature-rich and great for setting up lightweight Kubernetes clusters.
Minikube: Perfect for beginners. Despite being simple, it’s powerful enough for production-level deployments.
Recommendation: Start with Minikube to get a feel for Kubernetes without getting overwhelmed.
3️⃣ Docker Desktop Kubernetes (Optional)
Docker Desktop has a Kubernetes option you can enable in settings, but it’s not as flexible as using Kind or Minikube.I’m not a big fan for this one.
💼 What Can Motivate You to Learn Kubernetes?Go search for jobs that require Kubernetes skills.When you see the demand, salaries, and opportunities out there, you’ll know exactly why you need to learn Kubernetes.
It’s a game-changer for anyone in backend, DevOps, or cloud development.Once you master the basics, you’ll be on your way to deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications like a pro.
