Kubernetes Docs & Releases
Authoritative references, release notes, and the full cloud-native landscape.
The canonical reference for concepts, tasks, tutorials, and the API for every K8s release.
CHANGELOG and release notes for every Kubernetes version — know what changed.
Interactive map of every project in the cloud-native ecosystem — tools, runtimes, platforms, and more.
Complete API object reference: Pod, Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, and every other resource type.
Official release announcements, feature deep-dives, and migration guides from the project itself.
CLI Tools & Cluster Management
Essential command-line tools every Kubernetes engineer uses daily.
The go-to cheat sheet for kubectl commands — contexts, get, apply, exec, logs, port-forward.
Switch between clusters (kubectx) and namespaces (kubens) in one keystroke.
Terminal UI for Kubernetes — browse resources, tail logs, and exec into pods without typing kubectl.
The package manager for Kubernetes. Find, install, and manage applications with Helm charts.
GUI-based Kubernetes IDE — visualise clusters, workloads, and resource relationships at a glance.
Security & Compliance
Harden clusters, scan images, and maintain CIS benchmark compliance.
Checks whether Kubernetes is deployed securely against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark.
Comprehensive security scanner for container images, filesystems, IaC, and Kubernetes resources.
The official baseline checklist for securing clusters — auth, network policy, secrets, pod security, and audit logging.
Runtime security tool that detects unexpected syscalls and behaviour in containers and Pods.
Kubernetes-native policy engine — validate, mutate, and generate resources with policies written as YAML.
Monitoring & Observability
Instrument, collect, and visualise metrics, logs, and traces in Kubernetes.
The de facto metrics collection and alerting system for Kubernetes — pull-based, time-series.
Open-source dashboarding for Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and every major data source.
CNCF standard APIs and SDKs for collecting traces, metrics, and logs from any service.
Distributed tracing for microservices — visualise request flows and find latency bottlenecks.
CI/CD & GitOps
Automate builds and deployments; sync cluster state with Git.
Declarative GitOps CD for Kubernetes — syncs cluster state to a Git repo automatically.
CNCF-graduated GitOps toolkit for Kubernetes — pulls from Git and reconciles on every commit.
Complete reference for GitHub Actions — build, test, and deploy workflows triggered by Git events.
Cloud-native CI/CD framework running natively on Kubernetes — fully YAML-driven pipelines.
IaC & Configuration
Provision infrastructure and manage application configuration as code.
Discover and reuse providers, modules, and policies for Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure, and more.
Infrastructure as code using real programming languages (TypeScript, Python, Go) — Kubernetes-first.
CNCF project to provision cloud infrastructure through Kubernetes CRDs — GitOps for cloud resources.
Kubernetes-native configuration management — overlay and patch YAML without templates.
The open-source Terraform fork under the Linux Foundation — drop-in compatible, community-governed.
CNCF hub for finding Helm charts, operators, and other cloud-native packages — search before you build.
Learning & Community
Practice environments, exam simulators, career roadmaps, and community hubs.
The most accurate CKA/CKAD/CKS exam simulator — harder than the real exam, by design.
Free browser-based Kubernetes and Linux interactive labs — no local setup required.
Community-maintained visual guide to every skill, tool, and concept in the DevOps path.
Official CNCF certification programs (CKA, CKAD, CKS) and free training resources.
Hugely popular open-source 90-day DevOps learning guide covering K8s, IaC, CI/CD, monitoring.
Kelsey Hightower’s classic: bootstrap a cluster from scratch to understand every moving part.
Google’s free Site Reliability Engineering books — the philosophy modern DevOps and platform engineering grew from.
“Community” tools are independent, free, and widely trusted — but they are not Kubernetes & DevOps products. Always validate against official documentation before relying on them for production decisions. More cloud platforms coming soon.
Learn to Use These Tools in Real Projects
Our live Kubernetes & DevOps batch puts these tools to work on real accounts — hands-on, scenario-based labs. Bookmark this page, then join a free demo to see it in action.
