I was a Happy Windows Admin until Containers came along
summary
Claims that an admin can transition by doing a sober skills inventory, using free training and a local distro to practice. Recommends free sites named in the description: CAST learning site, Kube Academy (30 courses, 39 hours, 29 instructors) and blog collection KubeSimplify, plus Calico’s four tough certifications (one failed twice). Tells to install a mini cluster — Rancher Desktop (k3s), Minikube, MicroK8s, kind or Tanzu/OKD locally — and run real manifests on a laptop to mirror production.
