Kubernetes Explained in 15 Minutes | Hands On (2024 Edition)

Try CastAI out for free - cast.ai/travis
I get the question, "What is Kubernetes?" a lot from developers and other IT professionals and I find it hard to come up with a concise answer to satisfy the question.
So I decided to put together a video I can point these people to.
Perhaps you are looking for a hands-on 100-foot overview of what Kubernetes is OR are looking to learn Kubernetes this year.
If so, look no further than this video to get started.
I'll explain what it is as well as what resource I would recommend to you to dive deeper afterward.

[@davidmares6053]

this is great man, an overview of the forest without getting lost in the trees , thank you for sharing

[@user-hf8iy8xp9y]

after watching several k8s intro videos, i luckily landed on this. and you sir are by far the best at giving a concise and beneficial k8s overview. containerization, natural progression to concepts like pods/nodes, and hands-on examples. you're great at teaching, thank you!

[@nagasp882]

Thank you so much! Cannot wait for the full sized demo!!

[@zzerro]

Best explanation on the internet, thanks a lot.

[@WAFLogic-TheWebSecConnoisseurs]

Very helpful and well explained! Thank You for putting this together Travis!

[@yousef5886]

Very clear and concise explanation. Thanks Travis!

[@JustThink2000]

Travis you have a way of explaining things that just make sense. Thanks for this!

[@pranikpratik]

Thanks man! It’s really helpful.

[@simonkalu]

Thanks Travis... You're the best

[@blueeyes183]

you got good presentation skills.good clarity in what you present

[@Akz666]

The Best tutorial on K8s and also the recommendations...

[@fadamitanolatomiwas.miguel6626]

💯 this is amazing

[@aniiketpatiil7685]

Hi Travis, Really good info...Thanks for sharing.

[@plaiter2009]

Any chance you could do a video explaining operators for using postgres etc through K8?

[@Wassap133]

Fantastic video

[@krishnachaitanya4822]

A +1 for the specifics

[@joseosoriocatalan5607]

thank you travis

[@jessereyes-cortes1194]

My new years resolution is to learn Kubernetes ;)

[@samuelvalentine7846]

Hey man, how is it coming along?

[@UAX-x]

Another great video Travis, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TEACH ON UDEMY!!

[@dumitrugutu3140]

Nice and quick:)

[@estuardohernandez4230]

Great video. I think so, docker is very similar to have a batch file. right?

[@crazyburn2004]

This is awesome high level overview. I always try and get over view before I dive into any topic. Trying to get into k8s hype bus. Thank you. Question: can you share some details about your terminal config? especially the auto complete prompt you were getting. I am guessing that is coming from history. Thanks

[@TravisMedia]

its the zsh-autosuggestions plugin from ohmyzsh

[@jackweaver5840]

hey tarvis, can you please make a video about how to use python as devops (not for lambda and boto3) because i see python is getting thrown out there you can automate everything with it but i did not see a single example how is it exactly used in devops other than boto3 lambda, can you please make a video with real life use cases on using python automation for devops tasks? idk file system ssh ports and etc? thanks

[@hannahprobably5765]

Thanks

[@joaquinc4661]

Travis. It will be great to explore a simple DEVOPS process. I know there is many ways to do it, but I think you can simplify the process into a video. DevOps shows everywhere.

[@andriolafsson9603]

Thank you

[@ondersaglam2527]

Hi Travis, I need your advice. Please can you recommend best courses first about Data Management Essentials and Data Analysis. And second, I'm willing to have knowledge and experience with Data Migration from a non MS source to MS 365. Thank you and best wishes.

[@princecole6511]

Thanks for the quick tad bits Travis! What terminal were you using in this video? Looks like MacOS’s default terminal but how did you customize yours to show the currently directory you’re working from as well as the current git branch?

[@TravisMedia]

It’s the iTerm2 terminal with oh my Zsh framework and Eastwood theme.

[@princecole6511]

@@TravisMediaSweet! Got it! What font are you using? :)

[@jayjaayjaaay94]

does the udemy course you mention in video teach us the kubernetes concept from scratch?

[@DuongTran-zh6td]

Have cloud free k8s wihout credit card? (video vry good )

[@bitbro420]

Why did you create the nginx deployment yml file as sudo?

[@leojohn6702]

Aaa. Do you have a tutorial for docker? You explain better than others.

Great

[@0ioiuibgfg]

i get it, a sequence of code is like DNA plasmid, container is like self-packaging virus.

[@Graeme_Lastname]

Runs as fast as interpreted BASIC?

[@an2ny2100]

Nah it doesn't run on mac. I mean not all runs on m2

[@onlybryanliu]

Too complicated. I just use a droplet

[@robrider838]

Let me explain in 5 seconds. Don't do it. Way too much infrastructure to worry about. Use Azure Container Apps instead. It's like a PaaS version of Kubernetes and even sits on top of Kubernetes, but Microsoft take care of the infrastructure for you. Kubernetes is like IaaS. ACA is like PaaS.

[@VincentGroenewold]

I get that, but that makes everyone totally dependant on MS.

[@Vera150607]

Sadly, there are still a lot of companies that mandatory request on-premise clusters due to the so-called data ownership and privacy SLA with their customers.

[@rogerroan7583]

Don’t completely rely on what others give you. You should understand the configuration yourself to help troubleshoot future problems.

[@rogerroan7583]

If you want to take CKA CKAD CKS in the future, it cannot be solved on Azure. You have to try to do it yourself.

[@robrider838]

@@rogerroan7583 You think you can understand the configuration better than Microsoft? :)

[@SciMoTeAr]

poor explanation, without the basics

[@AgentBangla]

What did you except in 15 minutes!
