Why is learning Kubernetes so intimidating?
During customer interviews, while I was building OpsDrill, I was shocked by something. Very talented DevOps folks were having a hard time learning Kubernetes.
“I’ve been dragging my feet on learning”
“I’ve started and given up 3 times”
“I don’t know where to start, afraid it will mess up my laptop”
“It’s overwhelming”
I was relieved to hear this as I also found it intimidating.
There is a lot of great free material out there, but some of it feels like jumping straight into “Kubernetes 301: PhD in Containerology”.
(Kubernetes the Hard Way I’m looking at you. An amazing resource, but a very steep on-ramp for busy DevOps folks.)
In the past I’ve built games for learning as well as spaced repetition apps for helping to memorize materials. Would you be interested in
- An adventure game
- Played 15 minutes a day
- Using real Kubernetes commands
- To really, finally, learn Kubernetes?
