summary
Describes a homegrown bootcamp that trains new hires from zero to handling real Kubernetes support tasks by having learners build a hello world image, deploy with kubectl and write Deployment, Service and Pod manifests; covers cluster ingress, AKS/EKS/GKE and local minikube/k3s options, observability with Zipkin and Datadog tracing, and a hands-on demo service called quote. Curriculum organizes six resource types (blogs, diagrams, videos, labs, docs, stories) and iterates via feedback to measure what actually helps people learn.
