What makes it different

The journey

Who it's for Most Kubernetes tutorials start with kubeadm init or a managed cluster. You get a working cluster and almost no idea why it works. So I did the opposite. Kubernetes From Scratch builds a complete, highly-available cluster by hand — no kubeadm, no scripts — starting from the very first TLS certificate, all the way to a real HA control plane. Then it uses that cluster as a lab to deep-dive every concept in Kubernetes: 73 chapters. 👉 Read it free (English): https://kkloudtarus.net/en/blog/series/kubernetes-from-scratch

💻 Manifests & scripts: https://github.com/nghiadaulau/kubernetes-from-scratch Part 1 — Build the cluster from nothing (chapters 0–17)PKI/TLS and why a cluster needs so many certificates → etcd (quorum, Raft) → kube-apiserver and the request pipeline → controller-manager & scheduler (control loops, leader election) → HAProxy in front of 3 API servers → containerd/CRI → kubelet → kube-proxy → the Kubernetes network model → wiring pod networking by hand → CoreDNS → a full smoke test → and finally, the lifecycle of a request: from kubectl apply to a running pod. Part 2 — Deep-dive every concept (chapters 18–72)

Using the cluster you built: Anyone who can use Kubernetes but wants to truly understand it — for the CKA/CKS, for debugging production with confidence, or just to finally kill the "it's magic" feeling. Comfortable-with-Linux is the only prerequisite. If this helps you, a ⭐ on the repo means a lot — and I'd love to hear which chapter clicked for you.
