I would start with something like k3s locally for simplicity. Then check out the O'Reilly book, Kubernetes: Up & Running . The official Kubernetes tutorial is pretty good too.

Thanks for the recommendation. I went with Kubernetes in action instead but Kubernetes Up & Running seems equally good based on the table of contents.

After being self thought how to code through books and hands on projects, I have discovered an even better way to learn and get credentials in that field at the same time and that is through certifications. For example AWS Devops cert, the GCP equivalent and CNF Kubernetes cert.

That’s exactly my goal for 2022, I want to pass the CKAD certification :) I’m looking for good resources to get started for that! I went with the Kubernetes in Action book, and bought CKAD with Tests on Udemy (thanks Black Friday) for follow up later on.

Yea was debating between that and the DevOps cert from AWS. Choose DevOps because it covers some of the same concepts and more. Also just passed the AWS Developer Associate, so warmed up. Using Tutorial Dojo… Highly recommended! CKAD course on Udemy looks good too and have heard good things from friends. Good luck on your journey!
