> Note: this is highly effective because I already had significant K8s experience, so, if you're still learning about what Ingress-Controller to choose for your OIDC proxy, then don't go that route.
Learn about kubernetes for 6 to 9 months, full-time, and come back to it.
You have a lot of freelance work and devops positions that will give you that experience. You shouldn't try to do this alone, you need guidance to understand how this ecosystem works.
