Kubernetes is often treated as the starting point for DevOps learning.
This is a mistake.
Kubernetes is an orchestration system, not a teaching tool.
What Kubernetes Assumes You Already Know
Infrastructure fundamentals:
Virtual machines
Networking
Storage
Containers:
Image creation
Resource limits
Runtime behavior
Application delivery:
Deployments
Scaling
Failure handling
Without this knowledge, Kubernetes becomes configuration memorization.
The Result of Starting Too Early
Copy-pasted YAML files
Fragile deployments
No understanding of why things break
Kubernetes hides complexity.
Beginners need to see that complexity first.
At InfraForgeLabs – DevOpsMind, Kubernetes is introduced only after core DevOps concepts are understood.
At InfraForgeLabs – InfraForge, Kubernetes templates are generated based on real-world infrastructure assumptions.
