So you want to learn Kubernetes. But here's the problem: where do you find a good resource on the subject?
After all, there are many video courses that claim to teach Kubernetes. Some are good. Some not so much.
Therefore, I wrote this post to try and help you quickly find the best video course for you.
Caveats
- I only included courses that teach you how to be a Kubernetes developer / user, not a Kubernetes cluster administrator.
- Note that I did not include courses where Kubernetes was only a minor topic.
- I also left off any course that was under 2 hours as being way too lightweight and probably lacking substance.
- The following tables only contain premium courses, not MOOCs or free tutorials.
- Other technologies, like Docker and Helm, are not considered in this post.
