Kubernetes Foundations

Run containers like a platform, not a pet.

The mechanisms behind every kubectl command: control plane, etcd, scheduling, workloads, networking and storage, taught with animated flows and real scenarios on GKE, EKS and on-prem Rancher.

The one sentence to keep: Kubernetes continuously makes the actual state of your infrastructure match the desired state you declared.

Kubernetes, from zero to operator

Welcome. This is Deck 1 of a seven-deck path that takes you from never having touched Kubernetes to operating production clusters on managed (GKE, EKS, AKS) and self-managed (Rancher, kubeadm, k3s) infrastructure. This first deck is deliberately about mechanism, not memorisation: by the end you should be able to explain what happens, component by component, between typing kubectl apply and a container serving traffic.

Every slide states one claim in its title, shows it as a diagram or interaction, and the notes underneath (on the site preview page) carry the deeper reasoning. Use the right arrow to reveal animated steps one at a time, and the Slides button to jump around. The deck ends with a 15-question quiz with explanations.

Throughline example: a fictional retailer, Shopwave, runs a checkout service, a catalog service and a payments service. You will meet them on every slide that needs a concrete workload.
