Hey everyone! I'm currently a student taking a CI/CD course, and I've been diving into Kubernetes as part of my studies. I've got a handle on the basics like Pods, Deployments, Services, Ingress, Volumes, StatefulSets, ReplicaSets, ConfigMaps, and Secrets while working with k3s (k3d). I'm really interested in pursuing a career in Kubernetes. My question is, what are the best steps to take to become a professional in this field? What kinds of tasks do you perform on a daily basis with Kubernetes, and how did you reach your current positions in companies that utilize Kubernetes?

One solid way to get better is to operate a Kubernetes cluster over an extended period. Work on installing, upgrading, and troubleshooting different components—it's all about gaining hands-on experience. Just dismantling and setting up a cluster every week won't cut it in the real world.
Definitely check out 'Kubernetes the Hard Way' on GitHub! It's a fantastic resource to really understand how a K8s cluster works—plus, you can work through it on your own laptop. Tools like Multipass for Mac or VirtualBox for Windows can help you set it up easily.
The key to mastering Kubernetes is to keep practicing and learning. You'll need a montage of all the various things you work on to really get a handle on it!
