Journey of exploring Kubernetes

After building my DevOps portfolio on Azure and learning Docker, I started exploring Kubernetes to understand how applications are managed in production. My main questions were:

• How do production environments work?

• How are containers are used in real-world deployments?

• What tools and practices are used for managing and monitoring applications at scale?

I realized that while Docker is great for packaging applications, Kubernetes is essential for orchestrating and managing containers in production, providing features like automated scaling, self-healing, and secure configuration management.

To learn more, I’m using these resources:

• Comprehensive guide: https://youtu.be/W04brGNgxN4?si=SvYKefyDIKjzByz5

If you have any tips or advice for someone starting out with Kubernetes, I’d appreciate your input!
