Tutorials/resources to understand Kubernetes

pikachu

So, I’m on the lookout for a new job, and a lot of places ask for experience with Kubernetes.

I am generally familiar with Docker, and I’m looking for resources that would help me with understanding Kubernetes. I’ve skimmed the documentation at kubernetes.io, and at this point I know a few words, but would like something that’s more hands-on.

What are some resources you’d recommend?

It would be beneficial if you can get supporting certificates as well, since it will make your position stronger when you're applying for a job.

My usual recommendation would be to get this book first - https://www.manning.com/books/kubernetes-in-action-second-edition (because of the easy to understand theoretical explanations included) - but since you said you wanted something more hands-on: ace this, and you should have no problem passing the CKA exam!

Notes:
1. The course is on sale every now and then, so be sure to get it while it's 90% off (like now), and not for the full price
2. The theoretical part is somewhat weak (not the 'for dummies' level kind, may not be the easiest to understand for people completely unfamiliar with containers) - but since you said you are familiar with Docker, you should be fine
