I'm new to Kubernetes and I've been trying to find good resources to learn about networking. I stumbled upon a recommendation to check out beej.us, but when I looked at it, I found it wasn't really helpful for understanding Kubernetes networking specifically. I'm looking for concise and practical guidelines or materials that can help me grasp Kubernetes networking more effectively. Anyone have suggestions?

I get what you mean about wanting small, targeted resources. Unfortunately, for networking topics to be truly useful, they usually need some depth. If you're looking for something specific about Kubernetes networking, I'd recommend the book 'Networking and Kubernetes' from O'Reilly. It’s not a huge read, only about 150 pages, so it might fit what you're looking for!
The beej.us guide you mentioned is mainly about network programming and socket interfaces, which isn't directly applicable to Kubernetes networking. If you're still trying to get the hang of K8s networking as a whole, make sure you look at the official Kubernetes docs on networking. They cover the core concepts well: kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/networking/#the-kubernetes-network-model.
I previously checked that link but still found a lot of it confusing. It feels like the networking concepts are different from typical networking in Linux.
You might want to check out this site: www.tkng.io. It's got some clean, straightforward explanations about networking that relate more to Kubernetes. Definitely worth a look!
Have you checked out Sailor's website? It's a great resource for networking concepts and could help you understand the K8s networking landscape better. Here’s the link: sailor.sh.
Thanks for the suggestion! I really appreciate it. I want to avoid those huge textbooks, so I’ll definitely check this out.
