38 - Virtual Stack - Learn K8S in a Month of Lunches

Virtual Stack

Learning Kubernetes can be a great boost for your career, and you might be wondering where to start and what resources to use. Elton Stoneman joined me on the 38th episode of Virtual Stack Podcast and talked about his new book "Learn Kubernetes in a Month of Lunches", his journey of learning K8S and his views about the future of K8S. I have free eBook codes for this book and you’ll get one if you’re one of the first 5 people to share my LinkedIn and Twitter posts with your network.
