Getting Started with Kubernetes
January 26, 2019The following posts are meant to get a beginner started with the process of understanding Kubernetes. They include basic level information to start understanding the concepts of the Kubernetes service and include both theory and examples.
To follow along with the series, a Kubernetes cluster should be deployed and admin permissions are needed to perform many of the steps. If you wish to follow along with each of the posts, a cluster with cloud provider integration may be needed. In some cases we need a Load Balancer and elastic storage options.
If you would like to follow along, there is a github project corresponding to this guide to save from copying and pasting code snippets.
Nice work as always. I’ll be following your post. I’ve kinda “held off” learning all this public cloud stuff. However, it’s demand is only growing. I need to bite the bullet.
You should talk about kube-proxy too. You referenced it in Part 4 but I never found a reference anywhere. “The way in which services are able to send traffic to the backend pods is through the use of the kube-proxy. Every node of our Kubernetes cluster runs a proxy called the kube-proxy. This proxy listens to the master node API for services as well as endpoints (covered in a later post).”
Best tutorial about k8s I have ever read ! Thanks a lot, Eric !

Kubernetes concepts explained in simple and easy to understand fashion. Today I was going through EndPoints concept. I am looking forward to setup my AWS Kubernetes Cluster tomorrow. This article bring me confidence to prepare my CKA exam.
Superb link to start with K8s journey for beginners
Eric,
Getting Started with Kubernetes is simply awesome, your explanation helped me to clarify most of my doubts before attempting CKA, CKAD exams. I successfully passed both of them. My next exam is CKS.
