Ansible for Kubernetes Examples
This repository contains Ansible and Kubernetes examples developed to support different sections of Ansible for Kubernetes by Jeff Geerling.
Not all playbooks follow all of Ansible and Kubernetes' best practices, as they illustrate particular features in an instructive manner.
