Kubernetes Unpacked 007: Kubernetes From Beginner To Advanced

In this episode, Michael catches up with Natan Yellin, CEO of Robusta.dev. Michael and Ned chat about how logging and troubleshooting works in Kubernetes today. They discuss three stages of troubleshooting evolution - manual playbooks, automatic playbooks, and the third stage, which is what you do with logs and how automatic remediation can come into play for any Kubernetes environment.

In this episode, host Michael Levan talks with Ned Bellavance about why orchestration is important in today’s world, how the HashiCorp stack (primarily Terraform and Vault) fit into Kubernetes, and more.

In this episode, Michael catches up with Josh Duffney, Cloud Developer Advocate at Microsoft to talk about Go (golang). Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform are all written in Go. Josh and Michael talk about their journey into Kubernetes and Go, some fun projects to play with, how to learn Go, and why understanding certain programming languages is crucial for breaking into Kubernetes.

Learning Kubernetes isn't easy. In fact, there are so many places to start that people literally don’t know where to begin. Do they learn Kubernetes security? Networking? Infrastructure? Development? Michael Levan catches up with Kevin Evans and Robin Smorenburg to talk about their journeys into Kubernetes, how each of them started, links to learning resources, and where they’re at now.

Kubernetes is hard. Regardless of what tech marketing says, DevOps teams are still trying to implement and figure out this whole Kubernetes thing. With multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-prem Kubernetes implementations, how can teams start their journey and have an impact? Michael Levan catches up with Jeff Smith, Ops Director and author, to talk about his journey into Kubernetes for his team and what other teams should think about when implementing Kubernetes.

Since the inception of Kubernetes, the goal has been to make our lives as engineers easier. But with great power comes great responsibility---which in this case is the need to manage a bunch of control planes and worker nodes! Host Michael Levan catches up with Jason Haley, Microsoft MVP and independent consultant to talk about serverless Kubernetes with Azure Container Apps.

On today's Kubernetes Unpacked podcast we explore tradeoffs that come with using Terraform to manage Kubernetes. My guest is Luke Orellana, an SRE who uses Kubernetes. He's also a HashiCorp Ambassador. We also discuss differences between managing VMs and Kubernetes, Kubernetes benefits including self-healing, and downsides such as dealing with the complexity that comes from containers and microservices.

Today's Kubernetes Unpacked podcast explores entry-level lab environments for IT professionals interested in learning Kubernetes, including suggestions for simple container-based apps you can run to get familiar with Kubernetes essentials.

In this episode, Michael Levan chats with Neil Cresswell, CEO and Co-Founder of Portainer.io. They talk about the challenges of Kubernetes and how everyone is trying to navigate its complexities. They also dive into Kubernetes security, networking, and management.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Kubernetes Unpacked, a new podcast in the Packet Pushers Community Channel. The goal of this podcast is to help IT professionals understand Kubernetes: how it works; how and why it's used; how to deploy, operate, and manage the platform on premises and in the cloud; Kubernetes networking and security concepts; and more.
