I am trying to learn Kubernetes for work-- Docker + K8s + Helm.

Does anyone have recommendation(s) regarding books, video courses, or live in-person trainings?

For live training, I can not recommend Guru Labs[0] highly enough. They offer many courses, but specific to your question, lots of container related courses[1][2][3][4].

For K8s:

1. Read the book "Kubernetes up and Running"

2. After that you can start reading the https://kubernetes.io documentation

3. Alongside the documentation reading, practise what you have learnt using minikube.

4. Only after, start with Helm (which is pretty bad, but if your company is using it...)

Thanks!

I was just curious about your perspective-- When do you mean by Helm is pretty bad? Could you elaborate? Also, how does it compare with alternatives?

I learned a lot of the concepts just by typing search terms into YouTube. “TechWorld with Nana” is one channel that comes up a lot and has good, digestible explanations.

Hussein Nasser too, but he has less content directly about Docker/k8s and more about networking. It's excellent though.

I work on the EKS team at Amazon and will recommend our YouTube channel “Containers from the couch” cftc.info and eksworkshop.com
