This category is dedicated to discussions about Docker and Kubernetes (K8s)—two of the most widely used containerization and orchestration technologies. Whether you’re building containerized applications, managing clusters, or troubleshooting deployments, this is the place to ask questions and share best practices.
What to Post Here
- Questions about Docker basics, including image creation, container management, networking, and volumes.
- Discussions on Kubernetes cluster management, including deployments, services, ingress, and autoscaling.
- Troubleshooting issues with Docker Compose, Kubernetes Helm, or container orchestration.
- Best practices for scaling, security, and monitoring in containerized environments.
- Topics related to container runtime, registry management (Docker Hub, private registries), and multi-cloud Kubernetes setups.
What NOT to Post Here
- General DevOps discussions that do not involve Docker or Kubernetes.
- Questions about serverless platforms or non-containerized deployments (unless related to Kubernetes).
- Vague or broad questions without clear examples, YAML configurations, logs, or error messages.
- Job postings, promotions, or unrelated discussions.
Guidelines
- Be Specific: Share relevant
Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,kubeconfig, or Helm chart details, as well as error messages. - Use Tags: Add tags like
docker,kubernetes,k8s,helm,docker-networking,k8s-networkingork8s-monitoringto categorize your post. - Reference Resources: When possible, link to the official Docker documentation or Kubernetes documentation.
Examples
- Good Post: “Why does my Kubernetes pod keep restarting? [Pod logs and YAML config included]”
- Bad Post: “Docker isn’t working. Help!”
This category is for developers and DevOps professionals looking to enhance their understanding of containerization and orchestration. Let’s collaborate and make deployments smoother!
