Are you learning Kubernetes/Docker? What resources are you using?
I've worked with a number of clients who engaged me to do nothing more than teach/guide them through how to use Docker and Kubernetes (especially Kubernetes).
They all mention the inadequacy of existing learning resources.
So my question is, what resources did you/are you using to learn Kubernetes and Docker?
I've been working with Kubernetes and Docker for a couple of years and I'm thinking of developing a course drawing on the knowledge I've acquired.
- LansanaCamara 9y agoIn my experience, I simply learn by doing. Instead of running MySQL on my machine, I spin up a MySQL Docker container. In doing this, early on I learned that the way to communicate with the MySQL server from outside the container was to expose a port with `-p 3306:3306`. Small lessons like this eventually compound and you get better and better over time and understand the API's more and more. There is no magic pill. Nothing you can read or watch will teach you quicker than through trial and error. Just apply Docker/Kubernetes to something you're building and the knowledge will start to accrue.
- jonathan-kosgei 9y agoI completely agree! You also raise an interesting point in that Docker helps you get started playing with a new piece of software quickly, without having to setup apt keys, figure out how to start the server etc You can even use it to get familiar with different flavors of linux eg. OpenSuse, Centos if you're only familiar with Ubuntu
