Kubernetes is a container orchestration system, whose documentation can be found here[1]. It is often abbreviated as K8s. The way to think about Kubernetes is to treat it as a networked computer, and its main programming language is called YAML, which is a nested data structure of key-value pairs. In other words, Kubernetes is a kind of programming environment that is made of named services, and networked ports as endpoints.

Technical Challenges

The main approach to configure Kubernetes is to use yaml file that specified key-value pairs of resources and more specifically relations between endpoints. However, this approach is like programming complex mathematical formula using just low level machine instructions. It is very easy to make mistakes. Some solutions such as Helm is available, but the essence of Kubernetes is its service composability, which is not trivial for most people who are newly introduced to Kubernetes, and that is what PKC DevOps will be dedicated to reduce the complexity of learning and using Kubernetes.

How to learn Kubernetes

Some of the more useful books in learning Kubernetes can be found here:

  1. Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes[2]
  2. NGINX Cookbook: Advanced Recipes for High-Performance Load Balancing[3]
  3. Awesome Kubernetes[4]: A Github Project that contains lots of Kubernetes references

Installing Kubernetes

For instructions to install Kubernetes, please see this page: K8s Installation.
