Start Kubernetes will teach you everything you need to know to use Kubernetes effectively.

Who am I?

Hi! I am Peter Jausovec. I am a software engineer with more than a decade of experience in the field of software development and tech.

In recent years I've been focusing on developing distributed systems and cloud-native solutions using Docker, Kubernetes, and Istio. I am an author of multiple books, speaker, and trainer. I have delivered talks and workshops on cloud-native topics (Kubernetes, Istio) worldwide. 

What is Start Kubernetes?

This course includes everything you should know about Kubernetes as a beginner. What are Pods, how do ReplicaSets manage Pods, and why do we need Deployments? I'll teach you about Ingress resource and controllers, show you how to run your applications in Kubernetes and expose them through custom domains, run MongoDB inside your cluster, and even show you how to create your custom resource and controller. 

After you've finished the ebook and watched all 23 videos, you will have enough knowledge to feel comfortable working with Kubernetes.
To test your knowledge, you can go through 40 practical exercises you can run on your computer. Yes! You'll run a cluster on your computer, install a custom learning environment, and go through the exercises from your browser.

Feedback

"Just spent the weekend working through your "Getting started with Kubernetes" article and it was awesome, having known zero about Kubernetes previously.

Keep up the good work, hope you do the other parts!"
Gavin G.

"I read your article on Getting Started with Kubernetes and it was really super helpful. Thank you for taking the time out to write it.

I've been trying to make the jump to DevOps engineer, learning Docker and Kubernetes but other tutorials can get so complicated and hard to understand. This one was particularly easy to read. Definitely waiting on subsequent parts of the article and the book."
Ife S.

"Getting started with Kubernetes" was the material I was looking for to get an introduction to k8s. Thanks."

Gopal A.

"BTW, just started reading and I'm already learning new stuff! Thanks for sharing, I am still at the beginning but it's really clear and useful"
Lorenzo L.

"I need to say that the part related to Services is very clear and easy. Super simple!"
Riccardo T.


FAQ

Is this course good for beginners?
Yes! I built this course with beginners in mind. The book explains the Kubernetes concepts from the ground up. No previous knowledge of Kubernetes is needed!

Do I need a Kubernetes cluster from AWS/GCP/Azure?
For most of the content, you can either use Minikube or Docker Desktop. A couple of sections require a 'real' cluster - setting up real domains and SSL with Ingress and using AppArmor. For everything else, you can use Minikube, Docker Desktop, or other local cluster options. 

What's the e-book format?  
The e-book is available in PDF, ePub, and Mobi format. You can download one or all three or read it online!

How about the videos?
All videos are in MP4 format. You can download them for offline viewing or stream them directly from Gumroad. No DRM.

What if I don't like it?
If you don't like the course, send me an email to peter@startkubernetes.com, and I'll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
