This was just a quick introduction to these services, and we will have the opportunity to dive deeper into these services later. For the moment, simply pick the solution that is the best for you. Personally, I use both Kind and Amazon EKS, as they are my preferred tools.

In the next chapter, we are going to dive into Kubernetes by exploring the concept of Pods. The Pod...
