Sunday, November 2, 2025
New Step-By-Step Guide Helps Developers, DBAs, and Other IT Professionals Learn Kubernetes Fundamentals - Right from Their Own Laptop
FORT COLLINS, Colo., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DH2i®, the world's leading provider of always-secure and always-on IT solutions, today announced the release of a new hands-on tutorial titled, "Build a Test Lab for SQL Server 2025 on Kubernetes Using Minikube" that provides developers, database professionals, and other IT professionals with a practical, self-paced tool for experimenting, testing, and learning about Kubernetes and DH2i's DxOperator technology.
In DH2i's new tutorial, minikube serves as the foundation for building a personal, hands-on Kubernetes lab environment - right on the user's own personal laptop, and in doing so, it provides:
- Accessible learning environment:
-- Users can explore Kubernetes concepts without needing access to a
corporate or cloud cluster
-- It spins up a single-node Kubernetes cluster locally, so users can
experiment freely without risking production systems
- Skills development & other practical applications:
-- Users naturally gain familiarity with Kubernetes fundamentals as they
create clusters, deploy containers, and execute kubectl commands
-- These same skills are also directly applicable when managing
enterprise-scale clusters on platforms like Amazon EKS and Azure
Kubernetes Service
"There really is no better way to learn Kubernetes than hands-on experimentation - but you certainly don't want to 'experiment' with production data," said Don Boxley, CEO and Co-Founder, DH2i. "With this new minikube lab, users can safely build, test, and break things on their own machine - developing skills that can then translate directly into their enterprise-scale workplace environments."
Boxley continued, "As SQL Server 2025 ushers in new capabilities for AI, containers, and high-performance workloads, DH2i's minikube tutorial gives users a safe way to explore these innovations hands-on."
