So many people miss this. k8s is a very complex system and the talent it takes to manage it well, rare.

Extremely rare.

At some point I think I will setup an email account so I can offer to interview those downvoters

1st Question : Define k8s network, in detail, with all of the services and a set of services

IF you make it out of that one and the follow ups we can move on to the rest

Expectations have been set unrealistically high and online communities like this one make matters worse. Big players with dedicated devops teams use Kubernetes all the time so why shouldn't I? It's only a matter of time before "Hello world" tutorials include a chapter on container orchestration.

So we end up with a plethora of full stack developers who can barely keep up with their current development stacks willfully deploying their software on systems that they're just barely competent with.

I know this because I almost deployed a side project with Kubernetes because it was expected of me despite the fact that being mediocre at it was the best that I could hope to become and that's an easy way to chop off a leg or three.
