Welcome to KubeCraft. The community where (aspiring) DevOps engineers become undeniable. You are not here to collect endless tutorials. You are here to get hired, build real skills, and move forward with people who want the same outcome. Inside KubeCraft, we share one mission: Become a high paid DevOps engineer while solving real world problems together trough DevOps Craftsmanship. You are no longer doing this alone. You are part of a focused group built to push your growth every step of the way. We help you to: • Build real world DevOps skills through projects, challenges, and proof of work • Land your first DevOps role or level up your current one • Stay accountable inside a community that expects action, not excuses You are in the right place if: • You want to become a DevOps or Cloud engineer and are passionate about this craft • You are willing to do the work, ask questions, and support others • You want a real DevOps environment, not another passive course platform Follow these steps: 1. Post your introduction below (and level up to level 2+ fast) 2. Like & reply to other introductions 3. Your onboarding shows how this community works and what is expected 4. You will see exactly how to create momentum fast with the Welcome to the KubeCraft, Crafter. Let’s get to work.

It’s been about two months since I last touched anything technical. No projects, no tinkering just a bit of a creative block. But my son has been obsessed with Minecraft lately. He’s been spending so much time at his friend’s house just to play, and I thought why not bring Minecraft home and make it a fun little project for both of us? So today, I finally sat down, fired up my Proxmox server, and spun up an LXC container with Docker pre-installed. I used one of the Proxmox helper scripts because, honestly, it’s just faster that way. Now, as a long-time Debian person, I’ve always loved its stability… but we all know Debian can be a little behind on packages. To balance that out, I’ve started using Homebrew (brew) on Debian it lets me grab newer versions of tools like Neovim, sync my dotfiles, and get back into my comfortable shell environment quickly. It felt good to be hands-on again after a while. A small project, but it reminded me why I enjoy this stuff. For those of you who run Debian servers how do you handle older packages? Do you use Nix, build from source, rely on backports, or something else? Personally, I find Nix a bit overkill for my setup, but brew works well enough for me so far. Curious to hear what’s working for others.

Thanks to the KubeCraft Career Accelerator community, I have now reached my goal 500+ connections goal. I am not where i was yesterday and look forward to more opportunities that this brings.

No matter how well we prepare, life and systems have a way of surprising us. A recent ordeal reminded me just how quickly things can go from stable to chaotic often without warning. In IT operations, we anticipate risk, build in redundancies, follow frameworks like ITIL, Cybersecurity frameworks and adopt DevOps principles to ensure resilience. But even with the best planning, surprises are inevitable. The true test isn’t whether we can prevent every failure, but whether we can: 🔹 Respond swiftly and calmly 🔹 Minimize impact and restore stability 🔹 Learn and adapt to reduce future risk 🔹 Prepare and anticipate ITIL provides structure—through Incident and Problem Management for managing such disruptions. DevOps complements this with agility, automation, self healing and continuous improvement. Together, they shape resilient systems and, more importantly, resilient teams. This recent experience reinforced something essential for me: Preparation is critical. But response is what defines us. hashtag#ITIL hashtag#DevOps hashtag#Resilience hashtag#IncidentManagement hashtag#ProblemManagement hashtag#Leadership hashtag#OperationalExcellence hashtag#ContinuousImprovement

I’m pleased to share that I’ve successfully completed the Kubernetes Fundamentals course — and what a journey it has been! I’d like to echo the sentiments of @Mischa van den Burg : this course is an excellent starting point for anyone beginning their Kubernetes journey. I can personally attest to its value. Before joining Kubecraft, I had attempted several Kubernetes tutorials on YouTube. Unfortunately, they often focused heavily on theory and static manifest screenshots, with minimal hands-on engagement. What sets @Mischa van den Burg apart is his clear and thoughtful teaching style. He takes the time to explain concepts in depth not just Kubernetes, but also practical tools like Vim, ensuring you're efficient and effective as you build. The course focuses on what truly matters for beginners: Pods, Deployments, Networking, and Storage — the core fundamentals needed to deploy real applications on Kubernetes. Not only did I complete all the exercises in the course, but I also immediately began migrating some of my Docker applications to Kubernetes. The transition felt natural, thanks to the solid foundation laid by this course. Since completing the training, I’ve found it significantly easier to work through other supplementary materials. I now have a fully functional lab environment and a much clearer understanding of Kubernetes as a platform. If you're still undecided about diving into Kubernetes, I highly recommend giving this course a try. It's structured, practical, and incredibly empowering.
