Hands-On Cloud Native Learning with Meshery: Simplify Kubernetes Tool Management

Hi All, there’s so much to learn in the cloud native ecosystem - so many projects in the landscape. If you’re like me and trying to learn by putting hands on them, then I think you’ll find the CNCF project, Meshery (https://meshery.io), very helpful.

Meshery integrates with basically all cloud native infrastructure (Prometheus, Istio, cert-manager, and so on). Meshery let’s you visually configure and deploy all kinds of Kubernetes-based tools.

The project offers a Cloud Native Playground (https://playground.meshery.io), which is completely free to use… and easy to use. It’s a web-based platform, so you don’t need to install or configure anything.

Playground provides a live Kubernetes environment with Meshery pre-installed. You can import Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, Docker Compose apps, configure and deploy them. Or you can pick from existing designs published in its catalog.

Meshery offers cloud native learning paths with step-by-step tutorials that will teach you various distributed systems patterns and using different CNCF projects as examples.
