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.

Preface

This book explains fundamental concepts and useful skills for implementing DevOps principles with containers and Kubernetes. Our journey starts by introducing the core concepts of containers and Kubernetes, and we explore the various features provided by Kubernetes, such as persisting states and data for containers, different types of workloads, cluster network, and cluster management and extension. In order to supervise the cluster activity, we implement a monitoring and logging infrastructure in Kubernetes. For better availability and efficiency, we also learn how to autoscale containers and build a continuous delivery pipeline. Lastly, we learn how to operate the hosted Kubernetes platforms from the top three major public cloud providers.
