3 — Containers & OCI

Why the OCI image and runtime specs matter more than Docker itself — they let containerd, CRI-O, and Podman run the same artifact without vendor lock-in.

5 — Installing Kubernetes

Why kubeadm, managed control planes, and kubeadm-free distros mainly differ in who owns lifecycle and upgrade risk, not in what a conformant cluster actually runs.

4 — Kubernetes Architecture

Why the control plane's continuous reconciliation loop, not the scheduler alone, is what makes Kubernetes self-healing rather than merely self-installing.

2 — Linux Fundamentals

Why a container is just a regular Linux process wearing namespaces for isolation and cgroups for resource limits, not a lightweight virtual machine.
