Exploring Kubernetes

Exploring Kubernetes

Orchestrating the infrastructure of modern software.

A subsection of BradPenney.io, this site documents a hands-on journey through the world of containers, clusters, and cloud-native patterns. It transforms complex technical concepts into structured, practical guides focused on building resilient systems.

The goal is to demystify the orchestration layer by understanding the components that make it possible. (And occasionally documenting how to fix things when the "magic" disappears.)
