funny you say > I have learned 80% the hard way because the other working title for this was "Agents the Hard Way" (in the spirit of https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way)

You might be interested in this: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way It probably won't answer the "why" (although any LLM can answer that nowadays), but it will definitely answer the "how".

How about this? It will setup a kubernetes cluster on GCP with 3 worker nodes? https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way Some costs here but click on the google cloud calc as it seems to have gone up since he wrote this: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way/b... You can always shut it down when not in use to lower costs of course

Beat your head against the wall multiple times until it clicks. IMHO - the best way to learn anything is to just sit and hack away, if you wanna get up quickly - read through the docs, make sure you understand the concepts and then grab k3s (or run k3d locally in docker) and deploy something to it. WordPress is a good start. Take a look at: roadmap.sh/kubernetes If you wanna go all in: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way Oh, and both: "Kubernetes up and Running" and "Production Kubernetes" are great books.

i quite like "kubernetes the hard way" by Kelsey Hightower https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way not sure how up-to-date it is, but it really helped me understand how k8s works.

Hi guys, I've been doing Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes The Hard Way (https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way), but I've decided to go even a harder way. So, I've decided to manage the infra in terraform & build full CI/CD pipelines, and I'm stuck at generating and distributing TLS certificates. (https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way/blob/master/docs/04-cer…) Doing it with bash script's & cfssl would require me to do some hacky stuff inside my pipelines, and I'd rather solve that too with terraform. I've been thinking about provisioning an off-k8s HA Hashicorp Vault cluster of VMs built with packer and use vault terraform provider to generate all the needed certs. But I in general kinda suck at understanding TLS, or more – the related PKI infrastructure, chain of trust and how it

For k8s, look into https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way - I did it using GCP, which would expose you to a little bit of that, too.

> Despite its reputation, Kubernetes is actually quite easy to master for simple use cases. And affordable enough for more complex ones. Are you referring to actually spinning up and operating your own clusters here or utilizing managed k8s (e.g. GKE/EKS)? In my understanding, sure - using the managed services and deploying simple use cases on it might not be that big of a deal, but running and maintaining your own k8s cluster is likely far more of a challenge [1] than Nomad as I understand it.

If you're developing apps in containers, there are platforms that make it really simple to deploy. For example, Cloud Run (Google), Fargate (AWS), or Heroku. What the parent comment is suggesting is that building a platform like Cloud Run, Fargate, or Heroku is much easier on Kubernetes. Kelsey Hightower (principal engineer for Google Cloud) put it well when he stated, 'Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms.'¹ You can still deploy apps directly onto Kubernetes and it works very well for this purpose, but it will require a lot more learning than one of the platforms listed above. If you enjoy learning, Kubernetes is an incredibly powerful and satisfying tool to have in your kit, and the initial learning curve isn't as steep as some make it out to be. If your goal is to deploy apps as quickly and simply as possible however, go wit

Kelsey Hightower's 'Kubernetes The Hard Way' [0] "is optimized for learning, which means taking the long route to ensure you understand each task required to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster." https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way
