General

  • Multiple terms for the same thing. “resource”, “object”, “kind” and “unit” all refer to the same thing…
  • Strange “magic constants” where a blank ("") name for an API group refers to the ‘core’ API group… So you get weird error messages like: ...cannot get resource "secrets" in API group "" in the namespace "default"

NFS volume mounts

Minikube

kubectl

Validation

Container lifecycle
