About two years ago, I started using Kubernetes, or more precisely one of the small and simple distributions, which is k3s. Before that I had some contact with the real k8s at work, but it was limited to updating some parameters (mostly image: in deployments). Last year, in mid-August, I decided to to gain some more professional experience and organise my knowledge about this tool. The final result of this process and proof of my knowledge should be the acquisition of certificates from the Linux Foundation. I'd like to share with you my experience and thoughts about these few months which I spent setting up clusters, deploying, testing and finally taking exams.

This is a blog post from my old website. It is already a few years old. I'm not changing any words or correcting any grammar. I'll probably update my status on Colemak somewhere soon.

About one year ago (in September 2016) I decided to try keyboard layout other than QWERTY. I wanted to learn touch typing and be able to still use QWERTY when needed. I had already heard a lot of good things about Dvorak that time, but I wanted to be able to still use QWERTY ocasionally and I thought that Dvorak is too different than QWERTY. At that time I was aware of Colemak existance. Colemak is advertised as easy to learn and ergonomic layout which increases typing speed (especially in English) and is quite similar to QWERTY. Colemak moves only 17 keys. So I decided to give it a chance.

I'd like to tell you something about training process, summarize my progress and tell you why using alternative layout is not so painful.
