Kubernetes – An Enterprise Guide - Second Edition

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).

Preface

Kubernetes has taken the world by storm, becoming the standard infrastructure for DevOps teams to develop, test, and run applications. Most enterprises are either running it already, or are planning to run it in the next year. A look at job postings on any of the major job sites shows that just about every big-name company has Kubernetes positions open. The fast rate of adoption has lead to Kubernetes-related positions growing by over 2,000% in the last 4 years.

One common problem that companies are struggling to address is the lack of enterprise Kubernetes knowledge. Since the technology is relatively new, and even newer for production workloads, companies have had issues trying to build teams to run clusters reliably. Finding people with basic Kubernetes skills is becoming easier, but finding people with knowledge on topics that are required for enterprise clusters is still a challenge.
