📣 Updates

🌍 PHASE 3 - Orbit Basics is LIVE — deploy, scale, expose, launch

You've got a cluster. Now make it do something. Phase 3 — Orbit Basics is now open. In a handful of kubectl commands you'll take a bare nginx image and turn it into a real web app: running, self-scaling, reachable from your browser, and serving your own page. No YAML wizardry. Just your terminal and the cluster you already built. 📌 What's inside: → Step 1: Deploy nginx (3 replicas, one command) → Step 2: Bolt on a HorizontalPodAutoscaler — watch it scale itself → Step 3: Expose it with a NodePort and curl your way in → Step 4: Hijack the homepage with a ConfigMap volume 💡 The plot twist: you'll manually scale to 15 pods… and watch the autoscaler drag them right back down. That lesson alone is worth the price of admission. 🎯 Your mission: Follow the steps, run curl 127.0.0.1:<NodePort>, and post a screenshot of your custom Hello World! page below. That screenshot = your points toward Level 3. No more "I'll learn scaling someday." Someday is today. 👇

I’ll be your community moderator and help you build real Kubernetes skills in the cloud-native landscape. If you are serious about learning and landing a job in this space, my DMs are open. You can start here: Welcome (Start Here) We’re kicking off a free CKA cohort call this Wednesday - it’s on the community calendar. This cohort is part of my own goal to pass CKA this year, so you’ll be learning alongside me, not just watching. You can join whether you are completely new to Kubernetes or already have some experience. Check the Calendar tab for the “CKA Cohort” event and grab the meeting link there.
