How not to start with Kubernetes – Lessons learned from DevOps Engineer Christian Heckelmann

To k8s or not – that should be the first question to answer before considering k8s. Granted – in many cases k8s is going to be the right choice but don't just default to k8s because its hip or cool.
In this episode we have Christian Heckelmann (@wurstsalat), DevOps Engineer at ERT, talking about his journey with k8s which started with installing k8s 1.9 on bare metal. He gives a lot of great advice based on his presentation "How not to start with k8s" such as Understand Networking, Don't use :latest, Set Resource Limits, Train The People, Provide Templates and more.
