I'm curious about the different areas of specialization within Kubernetes. It's such a vast field! What specific aspects or roles within Kubernetes are you focusing on? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm focusing on Kubernetes outages—it can get pretty intense! Knowing how to handle unexpected issues is a real lifesaver in this field.
Monitoring and observability is definitely a major area. Once you get the hang of PromQL, it becomes super useful for understanding cluster health.
There are a lot of specializations, including networking, storage, and security. You could even focus on resource sizing and usage—it's an art form! Each area has its challenges, but they all have their own rewards too.
Yeah, sizing can be tricky! Totally agree on it being more of an art than a science.
Honestly, I'm still navigating the chaos of Kubernetes documentation—it can be a nightmare! It's wild how often you just get told to 'kubectl apply this' without much context. You think it could be clearer?
I've seen far worse documentation than what you've been dealing with, but I know what you mean! Some setups just feel overly complex.
The AWS docs are particularly notorious for being unhelpful! They assume you know so much more than I typically do.
I'm a network engineer, so I focus on communication between clusters. It's a niche, but there's a surprising lack of expertise out there. Getting good at this has really helped me stand out.
Networking has always scared me but I'm warming up to it! Got any good resources for learning more?
So, are you mainly fixing issues or sometimes causing them as part of testing?
