Those new to the Programming and DevOps world often find it challenging to start their journey due to the missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, problems with networking, or trouble with working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes there are issues with applications - like getting a sample application to work, problems with getting the dependencies to install correctly or trouble with getting a web server to communicate with a database server. Or, at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML.

So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is due to missing some of the basic prerequisites, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, or knowing the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python or NodeJS or web servers like Apache, NGINX etc. As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer, it is crucial to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we are helping you to bridge that gap!

Hello Mumshad! Thank you for uploading this course to youtube!
Why doesn't the worker pod need a service? How do the redis and postgres pods communicate with the worker pod?

[asddj]

Wow amazing concept of direct Labs no need to set up dedicated environment to practice kubernetes.
I want to do CKD/CKA please bring course on CKA CKD.

**CAUTION**
worker-app-pod will give you error because of authentication.
the latest postgres docker image have changed the auth mechanism internally hence the error. You should use "postgres:9.4" version of the db to run it perfectly.
