## What it is
A Chinese-language curated learning path for Kubernetes, structured as seven progressive stages from beginner to expert. It is a roadmap of links and guidance rather than a full tutorial, originally created internally by Caicloud and open-sourced.

## Use cases
- learn kubernetes from scratch
- kubernetes learning roadmap
- structured guide to mastering kubernetes
- kubernetes study path for engineers
- how to become a kubernetes expert
- kubernetes learning resources in chinese

## When to choose
- You want a staged, time-estimated roadmap for learning Kubernetes from basics to advanced internals
- You prefer Chinese-language guidance with links to authoritative sources
- You want to understand Kubernetes design rationale, not just usage

## When to avoid
- You need a hands-on step-by-step tutorial with runnable examples
- You need up-to-date content covering the latest Kubernetes releases, since the repo has not been updated since 2022
- You need English-language material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation
- domain: tutorials, cloud-computing
- platform: cloud
