Hey there! I know it can be overwhelming to try and create your own plan for learning something new, like Kubernetes. That's why I've put together a study schedule to help make things a bit easier for you.
I understand that sometimes life gets in the way and it can be hard to stick to a plan, but with a little bit of organization and some helpful resources, you'll be on your way to mastering Kubernetes in no time!
With so many books and learning methods available, it can be tough to know where to start, but don't worry, I've got you covered.
I've taken into account that sometimes people forget what they learned during the course, so this schedule is designed to help you retain that information. I hope it proves helpful in your journey to learning Kubernetes.
Let's do this together!
Week 1:
Day 1: Introduction to Kubernetes and its components (kubelet, kubeadm, kubectl, etc.).
Watch a tutorial or read an introductory guide on the basics of Kubernetes.
Review the architecture and key concepts of Kubernetes, such as clusters, nodes, pods, and services.
Day 2: Setting up a local development environment for Kubernetes.
This can be done using tools such as Minikube or Docker for Windows/Mac.
Learn how to start and stop a cluster, and how to access the cluster using kubectl.
Day 3: Deploying a simple application on a local Kubernetes cluster.
This can be done using an example application from the Kubernetes website or by deploying a simple web server. Learn how to create, update and delete resources using kubectl.
Day 4: Exploring Kubernetes objects such as pods, services, and deployments.
Learn how to create, update and delete pods, services, and deployments using kubectl and yaml files.
Day 5: Exploring Kubernetes networking and service discovery. Learn about services, service types, and service discovery using DNS and environment variables. Learn how to create and configure services.
Day 6: Can be allocated to review and practice what you have learned in the first half of the week.
Day 7: Can be allocated to practice the above-mentioned topics and try to solve some real-world problem using kubernetes.
This plan covers the basics of Kubernetes, including setting up a development environment, deploying applications, managing resources and exploring networking and service discovery.
It should give you a good foundation to continue learning more advanced topics and working with Kubernetes in the future.
Practice, practice, practice
Week 2:
Day 8: Learn about Kubernetes security and access control. This includes topics such as authentication, authorization, and secrets management. Learn how to secure your Kubernetes cluster and resources using Kubernetes built-in security features and best practices.
Day 9: Exploring Kubernetes storage and volume management. Learn about different types of volumes, such as Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, and ConfigMaps and how to manage them in Kubernetes. Learn how to create, update, and delete storage resources, and how to use them in pods and containers.
Day 10: Learn about Kubernetes scaling and self-healing. This includes topics such as horizontal pod scaling, auto-scaling, and liveness and readiness probes. Learn how to scale your application, and how to monitor and troubleshoot your application using Kubernetes built-in features and tools.
Day 11: Learn about Kubernetes advanced features, such as ConfigMaps and Secrets, Ingress, and Network Policies. Learn how to use these features to manage configuration, networking, and security in your application.
Day 12: Review and practice what you have learned in the second half of the week.
Day 13 can be allocated to review and practice what you have learned in the week.
Day 14 can be allocated to practice the above-mentioned topics and try to solve some real-world problem using kubernetes.
This plan covers some advanced topics in Kubernetes, including security, storage, scaling, self-healing and advanced features.
It should give you a good understanding of how to manage and deploy applications in production using Kubernetes.
