Ive messed around with Minikube, but now I want to implement the real deal. I want to implement a docker registry, blue green deployents, monitoring, request tracing, log aggregation, etc, but all for my own learning.

When I looked at pricing out Azure/AWS, it was like $200 a month for a 4 node cluster.

So HN, if you had to learn K8s on your own, what would you do after minikube?

Also, am I just being dumb? Can I just use minikube to learn all this? At some point I feel like having real nodes with real networks and control planes is better learning.

I basically want to be able to watch CNBC and understand everything they are saying and be able to formulate my own educated opinion.

I want to be able to cut through all the sensationalized noises about how the market is going to or not going to crash.

For example, its Aug 8th 2023, and US trade with China is in decline. How do people know this? How can I fact check this myself? How can I formulate my own educated opinion, so I know if this is a giant nothing burger or if it's time to liquidate my retirement account?

There are so many hucksters and snake oil sales men in this space that I don't even know where to begin to look.

So HN, how did you learn the financial markets?
