    🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!

  • Fwiw, having the tools to help you understand what's going on in a running cluster can be quite helpful, imo. For example, Lens or k9s can help with this. Otherwise, you're faced with having the kubectl docs handy at all times. And I know that just by naming these, I'm practically inviting others to point out alternatives. And brace yourself for Helm, which is super-useful and murky when you first start tinkering with it.

  • kubernetes-the-hard-way

    Bootstrap Kubernetes the hard way. No scripts.

  • Checking out the description of the Kubernetes Cookbook, it seems to me that you might fare better (from a learning perspective) to try your hand with Kubernetes The Hard Way. You may not need to go from start to finish with a flawless victory before you consider looking at the Kubernetes Cookbook, but I suspect that once you start digging into KTHW you'll discover other cool but relevant stuff simply trying to figure this out.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
