<p>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.<br />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!<br />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.<br />
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.</p>
<p>Let's do this together!</p>
<h2>Week 1:</h2>
<p><strong>Day 1:</strong> Introduction to Kubernetes and its components (kubelet, kubeadm, kubectl, etc.).<br />Watch a tutorial or read an introductory guide on the basics of Kubernetes.<br />Review the architecture and key concepts of Kubernetes, such as clusters, nodes, pods, and services.</p>
<p><strong>Day 2:</strong> Setting up a local development environment for Kubernetes.<br />This can be done using tools such as Minikube or Docker for Windows/Mac.<br />Learn how to start and stop a cluster, and how to access the cluster using kubectl.</p>
<p><strong>Day 3:</strong> Deploying a simple application on a local Kubernetes cluster.<br />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.</p>
<p><strong>Day 4:</strong> Exploring Kubernetes objects such as pods, services, and deployments.<br />Learn how to create, update and delete pods, services, and deployments using kubectl and yaml files.</p>
<p><strong>Day 5:</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Day 6:</strong> Can be allocated to review and practice what you have learned in the first half of the week.</p>
<p><strong>Day 7:</strong> Can be allocated to practice the above-mentioned topics and try to solve some real-world problem using kubernetes.</p>
<p>This plan covers the basics of Kubernetes, including setting up a development environment, deploying applications, managing resources and <a href="https://milanmaximo.com/how-to-protect-kubernetes-cluster-traffic-with-pod-network-policies/">exploring networking</a> and service discovery.<br />It should give you a good foundation to continue learning more advanced topics and working with Kubernetes in the future.<br /><mark class="has-inline-color" style="background-color: #abb8c3;">Practice, practice, practice</mark></p>
<h2>Week 2:</h2>
<p><strong>Day 8:</strong> Learn about Kubernetes security and access control. This includes topics such as <strong>authentication</strong>, <strong>authorization</strong>, and<strong> secrets management</strong>. Learn how to secure your Kubernetes cluster and resources using Kubernetes built-in security features and best practices.</p>
<p><strong>Day 9:</strong> Exploring Kubernetes storage and volume management. Learn about different types of volumes, such as <strong>Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, and ConfigMaps</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Day 10:</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Day 11:</strong> Learn about Kubernetes advanced features, such as <strong>ConfigMaps</strong> and <strong>Secrets</strong>, Ingress, and Network Policies. Learn how to use these features to manage configuration, networking, and security in your application.</p>
<p><strong>Day 12:</strong> Review and practice what you have learned in the second half of the week.</p>
<p><strong>Day 13</strong> can be allocated to review and practice what you have learned in the week.</p>
<p><strong>Day 14</strong> can be allocated to practice the above-mentioned topics and try to solve some real-world problem using kubernetes.</p>
<p>This plan covers some advanced topics in Kubernetes, including <strong>security, storage, scaling, self-healing and advanced features.</strong> <br />It should give you a good understanding of how to manage and deploy applications in production using Kubernetes.<br /><mark class="has-inline-color" style="background-color: #abb8c3;">Practice, practice, practice</mark></p>
