Kubernetes – An Enterprise Guide - Second Edition

By: Marc Boorshtein, Scott Surovich

Overview of this book

Kubernetes has taken the world by storm, becoming the standard infrastructure for DevOps teams to develop, test, and run applications. With significant updates in each chapter, this revised edition will help you acquire the knowledge and tools required to integrate Kubernetes clusters in an enterprise environment. The book introduces you to Docker and Kubernetes fundamentals, including a review of basic Kubernetes objects. You’ll get to grips with containerization and understand its core functionalities such as creating ephemeral multinode clusters using KinD. The book has replaced PodSecurityPolicies (PSP) with OPA/Gatekeeper for PSP-like enforcement. You’ll integrate your container into a cloud platform and tools including MetalLB, externalDNS, OpenID connect (OIDC), Open Policy Agent (OPA), Falco, and Velero. After learning to deploy your core cluster, you’ll learn how to deploy Istio and how to deploy both monolithic applications and microservices into your service mesh. Finally, you will discover how to deploy an entire GitOps platform to Kubernetes using continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).

Automating project onboarding using OpenUnison

Earlier in this chapter, we deployed the OpenUnison NaaS portal. This portal lets users request new namespaces to be created and allows developers to request access to these namespaces via a self-service interface. The workflows built into this portal are very basic but create the namespace and appropriate RoleBinding objects. What we want to do is build a workflow that integrates our platform and creates all of the objects we created manually earlier in this chapter. The goal is that we're able to deploy a new application into our environment without having to run the kubectl command (or at least minimize its use).

This will require careful planning. Here's how our developer workflow will run:

Figure 14.6: Platform developer workflow

Let's quickly run through the workflow that we see in the preceding figure:

  1. An application owner will request an application be created.
  2. The infrastructure...
