8 Steps to Become Awesome with Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Practical, demo-heavy cover of Kubernetes basics and real-world ops: how to run clusters locally with minikube/minishift, build images in-cluster with the fabric8 maven plugin, and use kubectl for pods, services, scaling and rolling updates. Shows liveness/readiness probes that preserve an in-memory shopping cart across a rollout, explains service discovery/load balancing, and demonstrates Istio’s sidecar model for fine-grained traffic control (Istio/service mesh). Demos sometimes fail live, but concrete commands, tools and a working example of canary/blue‑green behavior make it worth watching.
