Your Flight Plan
Launchpad to orbit. Each mission starts where the last one leaves a question.
Launchpad
Meet Apollo Airlines. Learn what it takes to get its containers talking on one machine.
Ignition
Bring Kubernetes into the story. Who turns your declaration into a running application?
Liftoff
A booking Pod disappears. Discover who replaces it and how the application finds its feet again.
Guidance
Follow a passenger’s request through names, addresses, and routes to the right service.
Mission Data
The database Pod is gone. Find out what must survive for the passenger’s reservation to remain.
Flight Control
Decide when a service is ready, when it needs help, and how it should leave gracefully.
Payload Integration
Ship the next version of Apollo Airlines and understand what a rollback can recover.
Mission Operations
A booking is slow. Follow the metrics, logs, and traces to discover where the time went.
Orbital Maneuvering
More passengers arrive. Explore which work to cache, when to scale, and what to measure.
Beyond the Local Mission
Explore Command Module security, Lunar Orbit cloud operations, and the missions still ahead.
Why Apollo 11
Designed for engineers who want real competence
One Airline, Every Stage
Stay with Apollo Airlines as its needs grow. A passenger’s booking gives every new Kubernetes concept a reason to exist.
Hands-On Labs
Predict what will happen, try it on a local cluster, then investigate the result. You can also follow the whole story without running a lab.
Learn Through Recovery
A missing Pod, a stalled rollout, a slow booking: learn to follow the clues and explain why the system behaves the way it does.
A Mission You Can Explain
Finish by following one booking across the system, connecting what you learned, and naming the questions still ahead.
Ready for Liftoff?
Your first stop is Launchpad. Bring your curiosity—we’ll meet the airline, unpack its first container, and build from there.
