Reference training

• enablement-kubernetes-101 — the golden example: checks, quizzes, DQL validations and a solution on every step. Read its docs/, .devcontainer/util/my_functions.sh and .devcontainer/yaml/dt-tokens.yaml side by side.
• EasyTrade sample lab post-create.sh — Kubernetes 101 cloned, with the operator, DynaKube and EasyTrade automated in post-create.sh.

Codespaces Framework

• Framework docs — cache, functions, sync, local mode, testing
• Functions reference
• Container post-creation & start
• Custom functions (my_functions.sh)
• Deploying an app
• Tokens: dt-tokens.yaml · the default file
• DynaKube configuration · the defaults file
• Live documentation, locally (installMkdocs)
• K3d vs Kind
• Secrets & environment (local .env)

Orbital and the app

• Register a tenant and install the app: autonomous-enablements.whydevslovedynatrace.com/#register
• No tenant of your own: use the SE sandbox tenant (ask in the enablement channel)

MkDocs Material

• MkDocs Material reference — admonitions, code blocks, grids, icons
• MkDocs snippets — --8<-- include syntax

Dynatrace

• DQL reference — full DQL syntax
• Dynatrace Operator for Kubernetes
• DynaKube custom resource reference
• Dynatrace App Toolkit — App IDs for dt-app deep links

GitHub Codespaces

• GitHub Codespaces docs
• devcontainer.json reference
• Codespace lifecycle hooks

Quick reference — kubectl commands for trainers

# Cluster status
kubectl get nodes
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

# Watch pod lifecycle
kubectl get pods -n <namespace> --watch

# Describe a resource
kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n <namespace>

# Check annotations (OneAgent injection)
kubectl get pods -n todoapp -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.annotations}'

# Rolling restart
kubectl rollout restart deployment -n <namespace>
kubectl rollout status deployment -n <namespace> --timeout=120s

# DynaKube
kubectl get dynakube -n dynatrace
kubectl describe dynakube -n dynatrace

Quick reference — framework shell functions
