Getting Started with Kubernetes
2026-05
Kubernetes is the next step after Docker. While Docker handles individual containers, Kubernetes manages clusters of containers — handling scaling, networking, and reliability automatically.
What I'm Learning
- Pods & Nodes — the smallest deployable units and the machines they run on
- Deployments & Services — declaring desired state and exposing applications to traffic
- kubectl — the CLI for interacting with Kubernetes clusters
- Configuration — YAML manifests for defining resources declaratively
Where I Am Now
I'm at the beginning of my Kubernetes journey. I understand the core concepts and can navigate a cluster with kubectl. I'm working toward deploying real applications on Kubernetes in the near future.
