Learning Kubernetes

I have run Kubernetes in production without ever contributing a line to it. This is me closing that gap, written down as it happens.

These are working notes rather than tutorials. They go up when something is worth recording — a thing I got wrong, a tool that behaved unexpectedly, a piece of the contribution process nobody had explained. Some entries are a week apart. That is the honest shape of learning something large alongside a job.

Start with the Kubernetes Orientation Map — the four-week plan everything else here hangs off.
