Starting a blog series named Kubernetes Club (Inspired by the movie Fight Club).

Here I will be talking about all things k8s, Istio and their related cloud-native technologies. The episodes will be hands-on and full of diagrams so that people can follow alongside and get a feel of k8s. Also, I included memes - figured it would be a win-win.

Since joining Flipkart, I have been exposed to the wonderful of Kubernetes and Istio. For my better understanding, I have also started my personal investigations and experiments along these lines. Thought a blog series would be a good way to traverse forward.

In the first episode 01, I have tried to decrypt a k8s cluster - both controlplane and dataplane - while deploying a sample golang application as a Pod in the cluster. We also discuss how the requests flow in a cluster - right from the user executing a kubectl command to a Pod actually springing up inside a worker Node.

More episodes to follow every week. Stay tuned !
