Ask HN: Learn K8s

17 points·lordonium··5 comments

Hello guys, do you know any resources for learning K8S by doing practical labs using minicube ? Thank you in advance

The best advice I got was to use Kubernetes in Docker or kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/) as your playground.

It contains the K8's cluster and makes it easy to recreate things if (when) you screw up. You wont spend the majority of your time fixing the cluster instead of learning how to use the cluster itself.

Then you can pick any K8's tutorials or courses. As previous folk have said there are plenty of them about. Udemy, Coursera, Pluralsight, Oreilly all have really good resources. Or just use all of the free tutorials and resources out there. Search GitHub for some 'awesome lists' etc.

I can't give any detailed advice on courses having not done them myself! I have used books online and kind to figure stuff out though!

Good Luck! James

Did you try the fine manual? ;)

There are plenty of courses online that will help you learn K8S or K3S, some even for free. I tried the Udemy course on Kubernetes Certified Administrator (iirc).

How does k3s look to hiring managers on a resume?

Like candidate had made a mistake while writing a resume. I have never seen a manager who knows it exists and the difference between.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/ is a good place to start, you can use minikube installed locally or else you the interactive sessions provided by katacoda which gives you a quick way to get familiar with it
