Hi, My name is Gunnar. 👋

A few years ago, 2017 when Kubernetes was brand spanking new, I knew absolutely nothing about it.

However, most of my company's systems were running on it.

One day, one of my coworkers gave us engineers a hands on session, demonstrating the basics of Kubernetes and how to use it for deploying applications.

It was enough to give me an idea how things work and I could start piecing together more and of how our system operated and more importantly a foundation.

Today, 6 years later, I have worked on five other projects leveraging Kubernetes. In some cases interacting with k8s and for two of them I even bootstrapped two Kubernetes clusters they run on from scratch.

And it all started with this introduction session I had so many years ago.

I want to give you the same introduction and onboarding I got and a bit more.

I want to empower you with enough practical knowledge about Kubernetes so that you can have mechanical sympathy towards the systems you are building on and leave you with a solid foundation for the future.
