Explore the new Learn Kubernetes with Google website!

As Kubernetes has become a mainstream global technology, with 96% of organizations surveyed by the CNCF¹ using or evaluating Kubernetes for production use, it is now estimated that 31%² of backend developers worldwide are Kubernetes developers. To add to the growing popularity, the 2021 annual report¹ also listed close to 60 enhancements by special interest and working groups to the Kubernetes project. With so much information in the ecosystem, how can Kubernetes developers stay on top of the latest developments and learn what to prioritize to best support their infrastructure?

The new website Learn Kubernetes with Google brings together under one roof the guidance of Kubernetes experts—both from Google and across the industry—to communicate the latest trends in building your Kubernetes infrastructure. You can access knowledge in two formats.

One option is to participate in scheduled live events, which consist of virtual panels that allow you to ask questions to experts via a Q&A forum. Virtual panels last for an hour, and happen once quarterly. So far, we’ve hosted panels on building a multi-cluster infrastructure, the Dockershim deprecation, bringing High Performance Computing (HPC) to Kuberntes, and securing your services with Istio on Kubernetes. The other option is to pick one of the multiple on-demand series available. Series are made up of several 5-10 minute episodes and you can go through them at your own leisure. They cover different topics, including the Kubernetes Gateway API, the MCS API, Batch workloads, and Getting started with Kubernetes. You can use the search bar on the top right side of the website to look up specific topics.

As the cloud native ecosystem becomes increasingly complex, this website will continue to offer evergreen content for Kubernetes developers and users. We recently launched a new content category for ecosystem projects, which started by covering how to run Istio on Kubernetes. Soon, we will also launch a content category for developer tools, starting with Minikube.

Join hundreds of developers that are already part of the Learn Kubernetes with Google community! Bookmark the website, sign up for an event today, and be sure to check back regularly for new content.
