Challenge

Kubernetes Workload Types

Six hands-on challenges covering every Kubernetes workload resource. Build Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, Jobs, and CronJobs by hand and understand the ownership chains that connect them.

Skill Path

Kubernetes Storage: From Ephemeral to Persistent

Four hands-on challenges covering the full storage stack. Start with emptyDir, move to dynamic provisioning with StorageClass, explore static PV binding patterns including label selectors, bidirectional claimRef, and topology-aware local volumes, then finish with PV reclaim policies and data recovery.

Skill Path

Explore Kubernetes Pod Scheduling

Nine hands-on challenges split into two sections. The resource section covers how requests, QoS classes, priority, and namespace quotas shape scheduling decisions. The placement section covers how affinity, topology spread, and dedicated nodes control where pods land. HPA closes the path by showing how requests drive autoscaling.
