About KubeCraft
For people who want a DevOps role and need the proof to get it.
Mischa van den Burg created KubeCraft after moving from nursing into a senior DevOps role by building real systems in public. KubeCraft turns that path into a program: a personal roadmap, a homelab and enterprise-grade projects you can show, several live coaching calls every week and a community of engineers doing the same work. It is run by KubeCraft B.V., a registered Dutch company (KvK 99136279).
Since 2024, 200+ members have posted in the KubeCraft community that they landed a new DevOps, cloud, SRE or platform job (KubeCraft count, November 2026). The count only includes community posts. Wins shared by DM, email or on calls aren’t in it.

Founder
Mischa van den Burg
Founder and lead mentor
Mischa worked as a nurse, with no computer science degree and a four-year gap on his CV. Computers weren’t new to him: he started coding in 2007 and taught himself Linux in 2014. Tutorials and certificates didn’t get him interviews. Real projects did: systems he deployed himself, a public record of the work, and mentors who told him what mattered.
In 2021 he got his first DevOps role. He became a senior DevOps engineer, earned two consecutive Microsoft MVP awards and the Kubestronaut title, and built a YouTube channel with about 130,000 subscribers. KubeCraft is the system he wanted when he couldn’t find one.
“I am teaching the Craft of the Kubernetes Engineer.”

The KubeCraft Laws
5 rules behind how we teach, build and judge progress.
-
Proof beats promises.
A certificate shows you passed a test. A system you built and can explain shows you can do the job.
-
A season of no.
For a few months, you say no to distractions and side quests, so you can say yes to the role or the next step in your career.
-
Do one thing well.
One roadmap, one homelab, one next step. Not 10 tutorials at once.
-
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
After Richard Feynman. If you can’t build it yourself, you don’t understand it yet.
-
Show your work.
Build in public, the KubeCraft way. What you can show beats what you can say.
