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.
