Getting started with Kubernetes

“

- [Instructor] I'm really keen to dive in, but before we start the course, I want to let you know that I'm going to be working to a few assumptions. I'm assuming you know what Kubernetes is and what it's for, that you have a use case or a potential use case for it, and that you want to be here and learn about it. Having that context in mind will help you think about what you see and how you could apply it in your circumstances. I'm going to be assuming a little bit of knowledge about Linux and servers, for example, what a process is, a port, a binary, a script. I'm also assuming that you've started your containerization journey and have used a bit of Docker, at least to build images and to start and stop containers. We're going to build on that knowledge here, so you won't really get the best out of this course if that's brand new to you. That said, you don't need to be a Docker expert, and I'll call out anything too esoteric as I go along. As for the practical details, well, this is going to be a very hands-on course. I could wave my arms around all day and explain things with analogies, but I've mostly taken the approach of demonstrating things to you, explaining what we see. Kubernetes really is a command line based system, so we'll spend a lot of time in my terminal. I've made sure the text is nice and big in case you're watching this on your phone. I've even got a nice font. But we will be sticking to the command line pretty heavily. Now, for this course, I'm going to be using a Mac. All of the commands should work on Linux too. And this stuff is all totally possible on Windows as well, but you will have to translate a little. I encourage you to follow along with the exercises. And in the very next video, I'm going to show you how to get a Kubernetes cluster running locally with just a few commands.
