Linux Before Kubernetes · Lesson
What Kubernetes Assumes You Already Know About Linux
Objective
Explain what Kubernetes actually assumes about Linux, rather than replaces.
An assumption, not a replacement
Kubernetes doesn't replace Linux knowledge - it assumes it. A pod is a set of Linux namespaces and cgroups; a container image is layers of a Linux filesystem; a crash loop is very often a process exiting the way processes always have, just now reported through `kubectl` instead of a shell prompt.
Orchestrating existing machinery
Kubernetes' real job is orchestrating machinery that Linux already provides, not inventing a new operating model from scratch.
