Kubernetes for Developers

Overview of this book

Kubernetes is documented and typically approached from the perspective of someone running software that has already been built. Kubernetes may also be used to enhance the development process, enabling more consistent testing and analysis of code to help developers verify not only its correctness, but also its efficiency. This book introduces key Kubernetes concepts, coupled with examples of how to deploy and use them with a bit of Node.js and Python example code, so that you can quickly replicate and use that knowledge. You will begin by setting up Kubernetes to help you develop and package your code. We walk you through the setup and installation process before working with Kubernetes in the development environment. We then delve into concepts such as automating your build process, autonomic computing, debugging, and integration testing. This book covers all the concepts required for a developer to work with Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to use Kubernetes in development ecosystems.

Chapter 1. Setting Up Kubernetes for Development

Welcome to Kubernetes for Developers! This chapter starts off by helping you get the tools installed that will allow you to take advantage of Kubernetes in your development. Once installed, we will interact with those tools a bit to verify that they are functional. Then, we will review some of the basic concepts that you will want to understand to effectively use Kubernetes as a developer. We will cover the following key resources in Kubernetes:

  • Container
  • Pod
  • Node
  • Deployment
  • ReplicaSet
