For k8s, look into https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way - I did it using GCP, which would expose you to a little bit of that, too.

That's a really nice documentation page, however what's missing in my eyes is an example or two for each parameter in YAML format. Personally, when attempting to use Docker Swarm, things like that were immensely useful, even more so for Hashicorp Nomad and its somewhat niche HCL.
I know that people like to use something like Kustomize (https://kustomize.io/) and Helm (https://helm.sh/) at least last i checked, but it's also really nice to be able to read up on everything without necessarily following tutorials and such.
For example, with Docker Swarm, if i want to change how restarts would be handled, i have a really easy reference available: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3...
But with Kubernetes, in the first linked page i find a short description (just scroll down a bit or CTRL+F "restartPolicy") which doesn't offer further parameters: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-ap...
To its credit, there is a link to another page as well which contains more information: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifec...
That said, usability wise i'd have to spend more time to figure out how to get my containers/pods restarting just once every 1 minute as opposed to whatever the default is (say, low end cluster with limited resources) with Kubernetes instead of other technologies, due to this difference.
