CKAD from zero - prerequisites material about linux/docker for this course?

piatkiewicz

So originally I started to prepare for CKAD exam, but my knowledge about Linux, Docker, containerization is almost zero.
I have an access to "Kubernetes for Developers (LFD259)" course but in its' prerequisites there is this course mentioned "Introduction to Kubernetes (LFS158)" so I decided to start with it.
Then I see prerequisites for this one is "Basic knowledge of Linux Command Line Interface (CLI) and container technology like Docker and rkt is required.", but there is no course reference or materials linked - could anyone recommend something to not get lost in Linux/Docker when learning this Kubernetes Introduction course?

Hi @piatkiewicz,

To get yourself started with Linux you can take a look at the "Introduction to Linux" (LFS101) course, available to you from the LF Education catalog from your learner dashboard.

To get started with Docker and Podman, any resource you can find should suffice, that teaches you how to manage OCI compliant container images, understand basic Dockerfile or Containerfile instructions, image operations, and container operations. At a minimum, learn how to build, tag, pull, push, list, and remove container images, and run, start, stop, list, and remove containers. For this you can simply explore the Docker and Podman official documentations. Keep in mind, however, that the LFD259 training course focuses on Podman for image and container operations.
