Ask HN: Are you learning Kubernetes/Docker? What resources are you using?

I got started with the kubectl command line function as it was packaged with Google Cloud SDK. Then experimented with Minikube locally.

I think what you really want is something like a "Minikube in the Cloud" learning environment. Where you walk students through building an actual service. But if they make mistakes, nothing catches fire ;)

Another recommendation is a gentle intro to serverless deployments such as Fission and Kubeless, since that is maybe where everyone's headed in the near future. Also a great way to introduce design thinking, architecture, distributed systems, fault tolerance, decentralization, etc.

Thanks for the input :)

I think installing Kubernetes and covering the whole setup especially for production is a whole topic in itself. Hence minikube would be very convenient for students.

That said I've always appreciated an example first approach (with a to the point explanation) other than pure plain theory.
