The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit, The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, and The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit: Self-Sufficient Docker Clusters, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the DevOps Toolkit as he takes you on a journey to explore the features of Kubernetes. The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit: Kubernetes is a book in the series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book in the series looks at Kubernetes, the tool designed to, among other roles, make it easier in the creation and deployment of highly available and fault-tolerant applications at scale, with zero downtime. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide range of emerging topics, including what exactly Kubernetes is, how to use both first and third-party add-ons for projects, and how to get the skills to be able to call yourself a “Kubernetes ninja.” Work with Viktor and dive into the creation and exploration of Kubernetes with a series of hands-on guides.

We explored some of the essential functions of Ingress resources and Controllers. To be more concrete, we examined almost all those that are defined in the Ingress API.

One notable feature we did not explore is TLS configuration. Without it, our services cannot serve HTTPS requests. To enable it, we'd need to configure Ingress to offload SSL certificates.

There are two reasons we did not explore TLS. For one, we do not have a valid SSL certificate. On top of that, we did not yet study Kubernetes Secrets. I'd suggest you explore SSL setup yourself once you make a decision which Ingress controller to use. Secrets, on the other hand, will be explained soon.

We'll explore other Ingress controllers once we move our cluster to "real" servers that we'll create with one of the hosting vendors. Until then, you might benefit from reading NGINX Ingress...
