DevOps with Kubernetes - Second Edition

By: Hideto Saito, Hui-Chuan Chloe Lee, Cheng-Yang Wu

Overview of this book

Kubernetes has been widely adopted across public clouds and on-premise data centers. As we're living in an era of microservices, knowing how to use and manage Kubernetes is an essential skill for everyone in the IT industry. This book is a guide to everything you need to know about Kubernetes—from simply deploying a container to administrating Kubernetes clusters wisely. You'll learn about DevOps fundamentals, as well as deploying a monolithic application as microservices and using Kubernetes to orchestrate them. You will then gain an insight into the Kubernetes network, extensions, authentication and authorization. With the DevOps spirit in mind, you'll learn how to allocate resources to your application and prepare to scale them efficiently. Knowing the status and activity of the application and clusters is crucial, so we’ll learn about monitoring and logging in Kubernetes. Having an improved ability to observe your services means that you will be able to build a continuous delivery pipeline with confidence. At the end of the book, you'll learn how to run managed Kubernetes services on three top cloud providers: Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.

Introduction to AWS

When you run your application on the public network, you need an infrastructure such as networks, Virtual Machines (VMs), and storage. Obviously, companies borrow or build their own data center to prepare those infrastructures, and then hire data center engineers and operators to monitor and manage those resources.

However, purchasing and maintaining those assets requires a large capital expense as well as an operational expense for data center engineers/operators. You also need a lead time to fully set up those infrastructures, such as buying a server, mounting to a data center rack, cabling a network, and then the initial configuration/installation of the OS and so on.

Consequently, rapidly allocating an infrastructure with appropriate resource capacity is one of the important factors that dictates the success of your business.
