Kubernetes Basics provides an overview of Kubernetes concepts and components. It discusses pods vs deployments, scaling deployments, rolling updates, stateful vs stateless applications, daemon sets, secrets, configmaps, services, ingress, storage classes, network policies, and Kubernetes CLI commands. Hands-on examples are given for running commands, exposing services, deleting resources, executing commands in pods, viewing logs, and getting resource information. YAML files are shown for defining deployments, services, and ingress. Skills discussed include using configmaps as environment variables, sidecar deployments, init containers, labels and node selectors, private registries, taints and tolerations, resource management, and readiness and liveness probes.
