Containers, pods, and clusters are the first lesson. The comparison with virtual machines is a table you can scroll on a phone.

ReplicaSets and rolling updates are in the same lesson as Pods.
ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer sit beside Ingress and the Gateway API.
ConfigMaps and Secrets, including the fact that base64 is not encryption.
The kubectl commands for contexts, nodes, and version skew are in the local-setup lesson.
