In this chapter, Kubernetes API access and client libraries were discussed. Although there are various tools for communicating with Kubernetes, knowing the Kubernetes API itself and the client libraries is crucial for creating game-changing automation and orchestration tasks.
Firstly, the Kubernetes API style and how to connect using HTTP clients was presented. Following that, the client libraries of Kubernetes were covered, and we focused on two official client libraries. For both Go and Python, how to install, write code, package, and deploy this code into cluster steps was done with demonstrations and activities.

Overview of this book
Before plunging into how Kubernetes works, this book introduces you to the world of container orchestration and describes the recent changes in application development. You'll understand problems that Kubernetes solves and get to grips with using Kubernetes resources to deploy applications. In addition to this, you'll learn to apply the security model of Kubernetes clusters.
Kubernetes Design Patterns and Extensions describes how services running in Kubernetes can leverage the platform's security features. Once you've grasped all this, you'll explore how to troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters and debug Kubernetes applications. You also discover how to analyze the networking model and its alternatives in Kubernetes, and apply best practices with design patterns.
