Learn Kubernetes by watching it happen
Three labs. Animated. Narrated. Step-by-step controllable. Pick where to start.
Lab 1: Core Concepts
The fundamentals — namespaces, deployments, ReplicaSets, pods, containers, services, labels, endpoints, probes, rolling updates. 38 steps.
Production Scenarios
Real failure modes SRE teams hit: node failure, HPA scale-out, CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, drain blocked by PDB. Five scenarios.
AWS EKS Lab
Lab 1 mapped to AWS infrastructure. VPC, subnets, EKS control plane, EC2 workers, ELB, ECR, IAM, CloudWatch — what your cluster actually runs on.
EKS Fundamentals
Module 02: control plane vs data plane, managed node groups, Fargate profiles, two APIs (kubectl vs eksctl), permissions review. 20 animated steps.
kubectl Live Terminal
20 commands typed character-by-character. Output streams in. Cluster updates live. Every command explained with WHY. Cumulative terminal session.
Visual Concepts
8 animated topics: Secrets security ladder, scaling 1→6 pods, rolling updates zero-downtime, self-healing crash recovery, Service routing, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, namespace isolation.
Cluster Visual Explained
Every component in the cluster screenshot explained: control plane (api-server/etcd/scheduler/controller-mgr), nodes, pods, services, deployments, secrets — with kubectl commands and why each exists.
Deep Dive
What every K8s object stores, where it lives in etcd, and how it flows. Secret encoding explained, Pod lifecycle state machine, Service iptables flow, Deployment rolling update, 10-step kubectl→pod flow diagram.
Visual Reference
Static, scrollable page with every concept laid out: container vs VM, service routing, probe state machines, rolling update timeline. Good for review.
EKS Course Flashcards
Every concept from the AWS Running Containers on Amazon EKS course — animated explainers + flip-card review. Module 01 ready.
