Kubernetes

Learning Kubernetes? This page will introduce you to the architecture, comparison with other container orchestrators, basic operations, clustering, Kubernetes services, deployment on-prem and on the cloud, Kubernetes networking, and more.

This guide is fairly long and divided in several sections. We start by discussing some basic Kubernetes terminology to ensure terms are being used correctly throughout the guide, then discuss the Kubernetes networking model and the design and implementation decisions that it imposes. This is followed by the longest and most interesting part of this guide: an in-depth discussion on how traffic is routed within Kubernetes using several different use cases.

This tutorial provides a walkthrough of the basics of the Kubernetes cluster orchestration system. Each module contains some background information on major Kubernetes features and concepts, and includes an interactive online tutorial. These interactive tutorials let you manage a simple cluster and its containerized applications for yourself.

This section of the Kubernetes documentation contains pages that show how to do individual tasks. A task page shows how to do a single thing, typically by giving a short sequence of steps.

This tutorial walks you through setting up Kubernetes the hard way. This guide is not for people looking for a fully automated command to bring up a Kubernetes cluster. If that's you then check out Google Kubernetes Engine, or the Getting Started Guides.

A Gentle introduction to Kubernetes with more than just the basics.

Kubernetes or k8s is an open-source orchestration and cluster management for container-based applications.

If you're new to Kubernetes and container orchestration and want to begin learning about it, this learning path covers everything from basic prerequisites to more advanced skills needed for containerization.
