Eric Jalal, an independent consultant and Kubernetes developer, explains how Kubernetes is fundamentally built on familiar Linux features. He discusses why understanding Linux is crucial for working with Kubernetes and how this knowledge can simplify your approach to cloud-native technologies.

You will learn:

- Why Eric considers Kubernetes to be "just Linux" and how it wraps existing Linux technologies.
- The importance of understanding Linux fundamentals (file systems, networking, storage).
- How Kubernetes provides a standard and consistent interface for managing Linux-based infrastructure.
- Why learning Linux deeply can make Kubernetes adoption an incremental step rather than a giant leap.
