Linode’s Documentation team recently released a comprehensive five-part tutorial to help readers discover and implement the Kubernetes container orchestration system, often referred to as k8s.
A Beginner’s Guide to Kubernetes answers fundamental questions and introduces essential principles of Kubernetes. The guide is supplemented by a reference and glossary to explain new terminology while progressing through the tutorials or learning k8s.
Choose a section to tackle or jump into the full guide:
- Part 1 introduces basic Kubernetes concepts and the k8s API
- Part 2 tackles the Kubernetes Master and Nodes, and the Control Plane
- Part 3 examines objects – Pods, Services, Volumes, and Namespaces – that represent your application, its networking, and disk resources
- Part 4 explores the role of Controllers in managing aspects of Kubernetes clusters
- Part 5 gives a brief overview of Kubernetes networking and covers some more advanced topics like sets, autoscaling, and Jobs
Linode offers several options for users to easily deploy a Kubernetes cluster, including the Linode CLI’s k8s-alpha plugin and Rancher integrations.
If you get lost or need help deploying Kubernetes, Linode’s Troubleshooting Kubernetes doc offers solutions for common situations you might find yourself in.
