kubernetes
Kubernetes is the operating system for the cloud. It schedules containers, handles networking, manages storage, and keeps your apps running. But K8s has a steep learning curve - abstractions on abstractions on abstractions. This skill covers the core concepts (Pods, Deployments, Services), production patterns (health checks, resource limits, HPA), and the gotchas that catch everyone (namespace confusion, service discovery, secret management). 2025 reality: You probably don't need to run your own cluster. Use managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) unless you have a very good reason not to. Focus on writing good manifests, not managing etcd. Use when "kubernetes, k8s, kubectl, deployment manifest, helm chart, kustomize, pod, service yaml, ingress, horizontal pod autoscaler, hpa, kubernetes, k8s, containers, orchestration, devops, cloud-native, helm, kustomize" mentioned.
