Hey Everyone, can you let us know in the comments what topics or types of videos you'd like to see on our channel in the future? Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@SiddheshPrabhugaonkar]

Terraform and other IaC tools, yaml

[@sajadsoltani9721]

DevOps tools

[@dmitriminaev]

@@SiddheshPrabhugaonkar second that. Plus configuration management. And how to make these two play together.

[@RomanShchekin]

Ansible/AWX, GitLab CI

[@chaitanyapatil5337]

Cisco ACI

[@fudosker]

It is like Fireship but without memes

[@TheHegi]

My thoughts, exactly!

[@Rogueixpresents]

imagine being that person lmao yikers

[@DenisJak]

No its better, its not in 100 seconds, but in 300 :D

[@anuzis]

ByteByteGo explainers are way better than Fireship when it comes to system design. Appreciate both for their relative strengths.

[@TheSaintsVEVO]

It’s wayy better than fireship

[@CH4NNELZERO]

I like these bite-sized videos giving us a high level overview. It makes me feel like I can participate in discussions where the topics you cover are brought up.

[@vcfirefox]

Sir, I am from India I learned so much from your vides that I could not learn in last 10 years. Respect to you 師父🙏

[@nekrosis4431]

Beautifully animated, clear and easy to understand. Keep it up.

[@JohnAlberts1972]

This video was perfect for a quick high level overview of k8s, including even explaining what the acronym means. :) Great diagrams, very clear and concise speaking.

[@radomirstanchev1863]

Hands down one of the greatest Computer Science channels of all time!

[@marwanfikrat7716]

This is amazing. The depth of the explanation was exactly what I wanted and needed. Thank you!

[@TheShynamo]

What a video of great quality, this was synthetic, visual and well explained. Thank you for the hard work !

[@ebragimovic]

Guys your videos are magical, delivering the most complicated ideas in the simplest and the best way! thank you so much!!!!!

[@NBopus]

This is one of the best and easy to understand videos on kubernetes topic. Good job!

[@Srilakshmitmbhat]

the animation and the effort put into this video is too good. great explanation.

[@gustavow5746]

i think this is the best video so far to give a highlevel understanding. there are lots of tutorials in which professors have no idea what they are doing.

[@rasthana]

Excellent Video. Short, crisp and too the point. Thanks for your efforts.

[@cromba]

This is one of the nicest well-made tutorials I've ever seen cool animations to keep us focused deep voice to stay concentrated and pure knowledge thank you man

[@OleksandrBorysenko333]

Yes, really, this is one of the easy-to-understand videos on Kubernetes topic.

[@hanskazan701]

Great way of explaining, my school always made it difficult to understand the basic of k8s. But now thanks to this video everything is more clear to me! Also the animations were very helpful.

[@DJBaldPaul]

Thank you, I went from zero knowledge to understanding a little about k8s, even learnt what k8s was short for. Great video!

[@HassanUmari]

I just discovered this channel, the content is really amazing, it's concise and clear

[@PoulavBiswas]

Another great video explaining the complex architecture in a detailed presentation. Thank you.

[@hildamelina6983]

Wonderful presentations, when technical complex topic is presented into a beautiful simplified one. Thanks so much !!!

[@pasalanarendra7226]

First time clearly understood what is K8S saw so many videos but this is the best :)

[@praveenX]

Great video, you can't get a better overview of K8s in 6 Mins 🙂😍

[@vaishnavi13477]

It is one of the best and short class with detailed information. The way of explanation is excellent. Thanks a lot !

[@ssaammyyss]

One of the best k8s overview!!!

[@islandboyau]

This is a great video to get a high level overview of kubernetes. Thanks!

[@gopuc9781]

I am new to this hidden gem, probably to me alone. Your contents are so easy to understand. I have gone through many videos on K8s on YT and never ever I got satisfied or convinced with the explanations but this. Loved the simplicity of both oral and pictorial delineation of the concepts.

[@marioferrerorocher]

love this channel man, keep going!

[@devopshiperativo]

Awsome explanation, it was fast and easy to learn, I was with a lot of doubts, Thanks for sharing in a simple way your knowledge!

[@manishb7703]

Thank you very clear, precise and to the point.

[@solomonxie5157]

Love the recommendation at the end. YAGNI! I should have told my org leaders a few years ago, but now it’s too late: after years of preparation it’s ready for production…

[@kvsm123]

This is a fantastic video. Thanks a lot for all your efforts to create this video.

[@anupamgh0sh]

There is another component called CNI (container network interface) that provides networking in k8s. Some popular CNIs like Cilium, calico has the capability to replace kube-proxy. So, kube-proxy is not a mandatory component.

[@MaulikParmar210]

K8s is a collection of services at the end. You can repalce many parts of it including store, scheduler, controller, container runtime. CNCF maintains base spec, and implementation would vary from vendor to vendor. That's why you have k3s, rancher, docker kubernetes, redhat openshift, and cloud implementations of gke, eks, and aks as control planes. It's the same as having a spec of java but having so many impmentation of jvm. Or having ECMA specs and different impmentation in form of v8, spider monkey, jscore etc.

[@BohonChina]

CNI CSI CRI are just kubernetes interfaces, They are not kubernetes components. companied can make network plugin to implement CNI to work with kubernetes.

[@NyorexDC]

@@BohonChina too bad most people just fed this guy's knowitall ego and did not check these comments

[@abhishekgowlikar]

Nicely animated with useful stuff to understand the technology.

[@uctuanmai8864]

What an amazing visualization animation effect!

[@dsoftware6352]

Great.. Explain a lot in simple way and in short time

[@phoenix15_]

Thought it would be dry but U enjoyed it. Little dosage of information was awesome

[@huikangtong9732]

The introduction reminds me of: The other day my daughter sidled into my office and asked me, “dearest father”, whose knowledge is incomparable, “what is Kubernetes”? Right, that’s a little bit of a paraphrase but you get the idea, and I responded, "Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the user’s declared intensions. Using the concept of labels and pods, it groups the containers which make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery" And my daughter said to me huh

[@nguyenconghuy3847]

lol

[@abiruthtamofo6272]

Thank you for this very simple and clear explanation. There are everything need to make it very easy to understand. Having you as a teacher will be very good opportunity to learn in a very simpliest way. Keep on the good job. Could you provide us with a very simple tutorial on K8s, now that you have given us an overview of the topic. I think it will good to move to a hands on a demo tutorial.

[@chinmayghule8272]

I hope you would make noob friendly/introductory videos in the future. I like watching your videos even though I can't understand everything.

[@nothingisreal6345]

Excellent. It tend to say: YAGNI applies in 90 percent of the cases.

[@briannaclark5479]

Thank you! fantastic video. Great info and concise!

[@NSJS369]

Very informative and precise, thanks.

[@fangdahan1550]

I like the short animations, great video series

[@FHB71]

Getting a small cluster up and running was a real pain. Once all the housekeeping is taken care of, it seems much easier than for instance Docker swarm. However, what I really dislike is what is necessary to have persistent storage in a localized cluster that is not using storage from Amazon, Google etc.

[@the_big_picture]

another option is to use serverless managed container service like cloud-run which is behind the sense kubernetes cluster, it's easer and faster for startups and also cost effective "pay as you go"

[@gersonmayer]

These videos follow the same philosophy of the books. Superb

[@saidouiazzane2297]

Thank you very much for this amazing video.

[@Hackenbaker]

Very well explanation. Thanks a lot!!!!

[@idiot8779]

Straight to the point

[@codingwithem]

This is a amazing video to explain how does Kubernetes work. Could you please explain the Docker?

[@deeptikalra2836]

Great explaining and insightful video ❤

[@user-lp7md7zy4p]

Excellent Video and amazing animation skills !

[@AMINWAYOUK]

Awesome as usual👍, can you please talk about K8s clusters replication and Disaster recovery!

[@Sasheenami]

learned a lot!! Thank you for this video!!!

[@btruong2008]

Thanks for the great intro video!

[@John-3692]

This is the epitome of excellence. I recently enjoyed a similar book, and it was the epitome of excellence. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale

[@total_n]

Great video! Not sure that it can be considered as a typo but at 2:31 there is a diagram with arrows from CM, Scheduler and API Server to etcd, but in fact the ONLY API server interacts with etcd directly, other components interact with etcd through API Server. Thanks.

[@sravani8666]

Yes true.. I too observed that. In the picture, shown like all components communicate with ETCD, whereas only API server communicates with ETCD

[@freem861]

Easy to understand video. Thanks

[@9unapologeticsanatani]

YAGNI ... new word ! I will use it !

[@cluebcke]

What if YAGN YAGNI though?

[@ralphhu4247]

Hi sir, thank you so much for the fantastic videos from which we've learned a lot in an easier way. I'm curious with what tool you make the video with moving architecture diagram components.

[@VivekKBangaru]

Really Nice video and explanation is vry good. Thankyou team.

[@jaimecarranza2509]

Very nice video , thank you very much for this content.

[@kavandesai]

Very informative.. Thanks a ton!!

[@auxmobile]

Kubernetes comes from the transliteration of the Greek word "Κυβερνήτης" which means commander, captain (of a ship), a person who has the control of something (e.g. a vessel).

[@jorgevillarreal2245]

I love this type of content, let me know if you’ll be interested in expanding it to another language (my native language is spanish).

[@nj9162]

I learned something new. Thank you/liked/subbed.

[@d00dEEE]

I run docker inside kubernetes on an Alma VM in qemu on an Ubuntu server VM under hyper-v on a Windows workstation. No work actually gets done, but boy does it look busy!

[@thehangover4985]

You should make a video

[@baabujatin]

love the simple explanation above all i love the presentation also .. can author or someone please tell me which tool is used to make these kind of presentations plz.

[@victorh.torres2713]

Awesome. Thanks!

[@Juan-Hdez]

Very useful . Thank you.

[@patrickhe6978]

You video is so inspiring!

[@jesusosorio7205]

Great presentation, felicidades.

[@fong555]

Great videos! Could you please talk about concourse CI and harness? Thanks!

[@scottshaffer3310]

Thanks for video very concise

[@qnprogrammer]

Thank you for the video.

[@moneeshkumar1838]

Wonderful explanation

[@fishingprice]

Hi, thanks so much! One moment is that kubeproxy manages iptables. It's not a classic proxy.

[@Boules99]

Nice explanation, thanks

[@karankotian]

Great video it's really helpful 😍

[@joyebot7371]

Thank you very much

[@leonardopinzon8679]

Fantastic, so instructive, I wonder if you wouldn't mind to do a deep full tutorial of yagtni, is necessary for my level of expertise,

[@gasfeesofficial3557]

kinda like shipping and receiving if you've ever worked in a physical warehouse. Bulk product comes in from external source -> it needs to be individually palletized first, then when customer "demands" the product (similar to increase in Kubernetes load increase) -> individual pallets are built and shipped out by "workers" .. i.e. Kubernetes containers. or something similar.

[@chenwanyen]

我喜歡這個影片。推薦這個影片。

[@xtoefield]

this was great!!

[@larsstormlunddk]

Awesome - and so clear and well crafted presentation. What software are you using?

[@PulIoFF]

I’m not sure it’s somehow possible to better explain what k8s is about in 8 mins. Thank you very much!

[@prateekthapliyal6108]

Very informative

[@danclarkeuk]

Wow, amazing job explaining all that in such a succinct (but very clear) way! Can I ask what software you use for the diagrams and animations?
