Indeed learning can be done in different ways, but this path will work since it worked for me too while I was learning about Kubernetes. I will help you understand the path for learning kubernetes and few terms of Containerisation [basic ones]. The purpose of this article is that am going to try and simplify for those who are looking to embark on this journey of Containerisation, by breaking things down to edible bites. I hope you enjoy the read and make the most out of it. Assuming that you do have a basic understanding of Linux, YAML, and command lines. Before going ahead with Kubernetes, there are some prerequisite concepts that I’ll recommend for you to grasp. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t learn Kubernetes without understanding these concepts first, but it sure does make the entire process faster in my opinion.

Without containers there will be nothing for Kubernetes to orchestrate, this is why it is important to learn how to containerize or use containerized applications.
