Let’s be honest for a second.
How many times have you sat in a meeting where someone mentions "Kubernetes," "Orchestration," or "Pods," and you just nodded your head while secretly hoping no one asks you to explain it?
We’ve all been there.
When I first started in DevOps, the K8s documentation felt like it was written in an alien language. Everyone was obsessed with how to use it (YAML hell, anyone?), but very few people took the time to explain why we even need it in the first place.
I wanted to fix that.
I wrote a "Plain English" guide that strips away the buzzwords and complex diagrams. No intimidating code blocks, just simple analogies.
In this guide, I break down:
- The Monolith vs. Microservices war: Why we actually moved away from single codebases.
- The Restaurant Analogy: The easiest way to explain Microservices to your non-tech friends (or your boss).
- What "Orchestration" actually means: (Hint: It’s just a conductor for your containers).
- Real World Proof: How Pokémon GO used K8s to survive 50x their expected traffic.
If you are tired of pretending to understand the buzzwords and want a solid foundation before you start writing kubectl commands, this post is for you.
