Overview of this book

The fourth edition of the bestseller Mastering Kubernetes includes the most recent tools and code to enable you to learn the latest features of Kubernetes 1.25. This book contains a thorough exploration of complex concepts and best practices to help you master the skills of designing and deploying large-scale distributed systems on Kubernetes clusters. You’ll learn how to run complex stateless and stateful microservices on Kubernetes, including advanced features such as horizontal pod autoscaling, rolling updates, resource quotas, and persistent storage backends. In addition, you’ll understand how to utilize serverless computing and service meshes. Further, two new chapters have been added. “Governing Kubernetes” covers the problem of policy management, how admission control addresses it, and how policy engines provide a powerful governance solution. “Running Kubernetes in Production” shows you what it takes to run Kubernetes at scale across multiple cloud providers, multiple geographical regions, and multiple clusters, and it also explains how to handle topics such as upgrades, capacity planning, dealing with cloud provider limits/quotas, and cost management. By the end of this Kubernetes book, you’ll have a strong understanding of, and hands-on experience with, a wide range of Kubernetes capabilities.

Understanding Managed Kubernetes in the cloud

Managed Kubernetes is a service provided by cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications in the cloud. With Managed Kubernetes, organizations can focus on developing and deploying their applications without worrying too much about the underlying infrastructure.

Managed Kubernetes provides a pre-configured and optimized environment for deploying containers, eliminating the need for the manual setup and maintenance of a Kubernetes cluster. This allows organizations to quickly deploy and scale their applications, reducing time to market and freeing up valuable resources.

Additionally, Managed Kubernetes integrates with the cloud providers’ other services, such as databases, networking, storage solutions, security, identity, and observability features, making it easier to manage and secure...
