kube-ladder provides a structured, multi-stage learning path to master Kubernetes concepts and practical skills, tailored for progressive skill development.
Learning Kubernetes, The Chinese Taoist Way
This tool is designed for cloud engineers, DevOps practitioners, and system administrators who want a clear, step-by-step educational roadmap to learn Kubernetes from basics to advanced topics. It helps users systematically build Kubernetes knowledge and skills through guided stages, enabling better understanding and application in cloud security and DevSecOps contexts.
kube-ladder is not a tutorial or software tool but an educational roadmap; users should complement it with official Kubernetes docs and hands-on practice. Some installation methods like minikube may require network access adjustments (e.g., scientific internet access or domestic mirrors in China). The learning path is designed for gradual skill acquisition over weeks, so consistent study is recommended.
Deploy a local Kubernetes environment using minikube or kind
Alternatively, install Kubernetes with kubeadm or manual component setup
Refer to the tutorial lab1-installation.md for detailed installation stepsminikube start
