23 videos · 7.2 hours · TechWorld with Nana
Nana Janashia's Kubernetes tutorial is one of the most popular ways into Kubernetes: what it is and its architecture, Minikube and kubectl, YAML configuration for deployments and services, namespaces, ingress, Helm, volumes, StatefulSets, pulling from private registries, Prometheus monitoring, deployment on a managed cluster and security best practices.
Clear diagrams and hands-on demos make it approachable even if you've never run a container cluster.
Who it's for: Developers and aspiring DevOps engineers who know Docker basics and want to learn Kubernetes.
How long does it take?
The full playlist is 7.2 hours across 23 videos. Here's roughly how many days that is at different daily watch times and speeds, counting video time only:
| Daily time | At 1x | At 1.5x | At 2x |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 min a day | 15 days | 10 days | 8 days |
| 1 h a day | 8 days | 5 days | 4 days |
| 2 h a day | 4 days | 3 days | 2 days |
Make your own schedule
The playlist link is already filled in. Press Plan, set how much time you have each day and your speed, and you'll get a day-by-day schedule with a finish date and a calendar file. It reads the live playlist, so new videos are included.
Week-by-week schedule
A sample plan at 30 minutes a day and normal speed, using whole videos so none is split across days. That's 3 weeks in total. For a different pace, start date or speed, use the planner above.
