Finally, there is one more critical assumption that I’m making for this course. I assume that you are already proficient with Kubernetes. This course does not teach you how to do some basic Kubernetes operations. I also assume that you have at least a basic understanding of Istio. You don’t need to be an Istio ninja, but some basic knowledge is welcome. Also, you will see that I talk about monitoring, alerting, and dashboards. I do not go through those in detail.

All in all, the subject of this course is not to teach you Kubernetes, service mesh, or monitoring and alerting. It is focused on chaos engineering in Kubernetes. I do, however, provide the references for material that you might want to go through if you’re going to dive deeper into some of the topics that are not directly related to the subject of this course.

In the next lesson, we will discuss a few things to consider before we officially get started with the course content.
