How is this course so far?

Hi everyone 👋

For those of you who "took" this course (fully or partially), how is it so far? Is there any topic that needs clarification?

I'm super curious; any feedback is appreciated.

it's very interesting, still going through it slowly to understand all steps

Thank you! Let me know if you think I should shed more light on some areas

I like it very much, thanks alot for your work! I have just two thoughts:

• why does the host need https access to minikube?
• I put OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID="google_oauth2_{kubemaster}_{myID}" instead of OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID="{myID}", maybe that could be more clear?

• @lustoerk I waited for someone to ask this question 😄 When it comes to this self-paced course, we don't really use any command that involves HTTPS from the host to minikube. All we did was using kubectl from WSL2/macOS.

So why have I added it? Picture this - You want to access the Kubernetes APIs, from the Host with HTTPS, how would you do that? See Access Clusters Using the Kubernetes API. All the examples use HTTP, while with our setup we can use HTTPS, hooray for us 🎉

• You mean this?

  # Values from Google's Developer Console - the space at the beginning of the command is on purpose to keep it out from Bash's history
  OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID="google_oauth2_project_client_id"
  OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET="google_oauth2_project_client_secret"

Yeah, that was probably just really stupid :P i just thought "google_oauth2" has to be kept, "project" be replaced with the project name and "client_id" gets the value. But that failed and i realized the whole thing is the "client_id".
