Thanks so much for watching, to those of you who made it through all ten episodes :)

I must say that Operators episode was the eye-opening moment for me. It could be that the topic is more advanced than what is expected from a 101 series. I really hope there will be more intermediate content

Fantastic series, Jeff!

Even having worked with k8s for a few years now, I still learned some new things and cemented a few concepts that were still nebulous!

[makkurotatsu]

Now that's what I call a great series. Tons of useful information presented in a pleasant and calm manner. Kudos!

[MichalKottman]

Bought the book, looking forward to seeing it grow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[EligioMerino]

Awesome K8s monitoring intro!! 👏👏 I am looking forward to learn a bit more on the alerting topic with these tools 👀

[devaroop]

Hey Jeff, thanks for giving to the community. Amazing series. God bless.

[geisterkind]

Hi Jeff, thank you for this series - please finish your book :) really enjoy your videos

Another excellent episode. Thanks a lot Jeff!

I've tried deploying Prometheus and Grafana using the helm chart you mentioned on my Raspberry pi K3S cluster and I've got the prometheus-kube-state-metrics pod on CrashLoopBackOff. It's the only pod that's not running.

Logs said: standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error │ stream closed

I've assumed the chart is only AMD64 compatible. I would be really great if more of these tools were multi arch.

Next step, I will try it in my other AMD64 K8S cluster.

Till next time.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Your videos are the best 👍 I have no need for a cluster but this has helped me scope the infrastructure/tools I could use in the future 🚀

[wilcosec]

Great series! Thank you for making it. And the operators one was my favorite episode!

[TrainWithDevesh]

Excellent video! Just what I was looking for!

[vasilypodguzov]

Dear Jeff, a lot of thanks for this video.

[yvanhelie]

This is a great presentation! Keep the good works!

[Rienck]

Hey Jeff, I really enjoyed thid serie!Het zou geweldig zijn als je een kubernetes 102 serie zou maken. Or in English, it would be great if you would make a 102 serie about kubernetes! Groeten uit Nederland!

[styopg]

Thank you very much, Jeff! You are very cool and amazing man.

[romangalochkin]

Thanks you for your videos! Continue and do not give up.

[SergeyTarabara]

Cool video! Thx! Tell please about logging (collecting, analyzing, alerting) in k8s in next your video.

Some opinions:
The operators episode could have been part of a 102 series yes.
A Q&A section was REALLY needed. k8s is complicated, and a Q&A would cover some of the possible holes that people had.
Diving more into deploying & customizing stuff with Helm would have been appreciated.
