Over the last year, we've learned Linux, Networking, CI/CD, DevSecOps, AI, and Production Troubleshooting together.
Now it's time for something much bigger.
I'm starting the most ambitious project I've ever created.
A complete, production-grade Kubernetes & CNCF platform built from scratch.
This isn't another Kubernetes tutorial series.
We're not going to memorize commands.
We're going to understand why modern cloud-native platforms are built the way they are, the production problems each CNCF project solves, and how experienced platform engineers design, secure, monitor, and troubleshoot real systems.
By the end of this journey, you won't just know Kubernetes.
You'll understand how production platforms actually work.
I've recorded a full announcement explaining the vision, roadmap, and what we'll be building together over the next year.
This video explains:
Why I'm changing the direction of the channel
What we'll build over the next year
Every major CNCF project we'll cover
How this series is different from every Kubernetes course online
What you'll be able to build by the end
Don't skip this one. It sets the foundation for everything that follows.
What We'll Build Together
Instead of isolated tutorials, we'll continuously evolve one production platform while introducing technologies only when a real engineering problem appears.
Along the way you'll learn:
✅ Kubernetes
✅ Helm
✅ Argo CD
✅ Prometheus
✅ Grafana
✅ Loki
✅ Tempo
✅ OpenTelemetry
✅ Cilium
✅ Gateway API
✅ cert-manager
✅ Kyverno
✅ Falco
✅ Longhorn
✅ Backstage
✅ Crossplane
✅ KServe
✅ Kubeflow
…and many more CNCF projects.
Every episode follows the same engineering workflow:
Understand the production problem
Learn why existing solutions aren't enough
Discover why the CNCF project was created
Build it from scratch
Break it intentionally
Troubleshoot production failures
Apply production best practices
This is exactly how experienced engineers learn in real environments.
Don't Just Watch. Practice.
Watching videos builds understanding.
Solving production incidents builds confidence.
That's why I've created hands-on challenges that simulate real engineering work.
Kubernetes Production Incident Challenge
A Kubernetes production environment is broken.
There are no hints.
No walkthrough.
No step-by-step instructions.
Your job is to investigate, identify the root cause, and restore production—just like an engineer on call.
CI/CD Production Simulation Pack
Deployment failed.
Production isn't updating.
Something is wrong.
Can you find the problem?
Practice debugging realistic CI/CD failures instead of watching someone else solve them.

One Last Thing
There are thousands of Kubernetes tutorials online.
My goal isn't to create another one.
My goal is to help you think like the engineer who designs, operates, and troubleshoots production systems.
If you're serious about becoming a better DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE, or Cloud Engineer...
Watch the announcement video.
Then join me as we build a production platform together—one episode at a time.
See you in Episode 1.
