Kubernetes

The official home of Kubernetes, the free open-source system for running and scaling containerized applications. Includes full documentation, tutorials and a browser-based interactive learning track — useful background if you are moving toward cloud, DevOps or AI infrastructure work.

Why I recommend it: The software and docs are free and open source. Running Kubernetes on a cloud provider costs money, so stick to the free local tutorials while you are learning.

GitHub Resources and Guides

GitHub's free article library explaining version control, DevOps, CI/CD, security practices and AI-assisted development in plain terms.

From the site: GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

Why I recommend it: Good plain-English explainers for the terms that show up in job descriptions — read the DevOps and CI/CD ones before an interview.
