Omg, i’m traying to copy the resources, like any yaml file, or any file in github, but it’s no avalible something like that :"(
Take a look at the references github repository. Specifically I would suggest looking at 03-setup-ingress-controller/assets/manifests for the yaml files.
https://github.com/digitalocean/Kubernetes-Starter-Kit-Developers/tree/main/03-setup-ingress-controller/assets/manifests
Could you please post a git repo of the YAML files used within this video tutorial?
Is there a text tutorial somewhere for those of us who dont do video in the office?
